About Cliffs Victory

SS Cliffs Victory was an American Lake freighter built in 1945 as the Victory ship Notre Dame Victory and operated by Interocean Shipping Company under charter with the Maritime Commission and War Shipping Administration. She was heavily modified and converted to a lake freighter for Cleveland-Cliffs in 1950, and lengthened in 1957. As the Cliffs Victory, she held the title of Queen of the Lakes, awarded to the largest active vessel on the Great Lakes, from 1957 to 1958, before being overtaken by the SS Edmund Fitzgerald.
