The ship was remarkable in that it was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. It was constructed with funding from United States government agencies with the mission to prove that the US was committed to the proposition of using atomic power for peace and part of President Eisenhower's larger "Atoms for Peace" project. The sleek and modern design of the ship led to some maritime historians believing it was the prettiest merchant ship ever built. This china embodies both the mission of using nuclear power for peace while incorporating the design inclinations of the ship.

    January 15, 2015 Final Report to the Governor and the Legislature As per M.S. 3.303, SUBD. 10 AND M.S. 129D.17, SUBD.2 (D) Project supported by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Culture Heritage Fund FY 2014 On behalf of the Lake Superior Center Authority, Pursuant to 2013 Minnesota Session Laws, Chapter 137, Article 4, Section 2, Subdivision 6, clause (e), the Minnesota Legislature provided $200,000 to Lake Superior Center Authority in the first year (fiscal year 2014) of the FY 14/15 biennium for development of an exhibit to examine the effect that aquatic environments have on shipwrecks and to preserve Minnesota’s history and cultural heritage. On behalf of the Lake Superior Center Authority, we are pleased to provide this final report on the project for which we received Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund funding, a project we are calling Shipwrecks Alive! In entering into the grant agreement, the state entity, Lake Superior Center Authority has designated its non- profit, Lake Superior Center dba Great Lakes Aquarium (GLA) to serve as its managing agent for the project. Great Lakes Aquarium is uniquely positioned on the shores of Lake Superior, one of the shipwreck diving meccas of the world, to tell the fascinating story waiting under the waves. It is a story which fascinates all ages. Completed and opened to the public on July 2, 2014, Shipwrecks Alive! provides an insight into the role ships play as underwater habitat once they have sunk. The story is told with a focus on three unique examples of shipwrecks in three very distinct and different parts of the world: Lake Superior; the South Pacific; and, the Mediterranean Sea.
