The Alexander Henry, a retired Canadian Coast Guard Ship, is now a Historical Heritage Museum ship located at the end of Sleeping Giant Parkway, also known as Pool #6 in Thunder Bay. Recently a contract with Norwegian "Viking Cruise Lines" has been negotiated for The Octantis to dock at the Alexander Henry enroute from a 7 day Great Lakes tour between Thunder Bay & Milwaukee. Boarding can be arranged at either port. Beautiful new developments are under way at this location on the waterfront of Thunder Bay Ontario. The Ocean Navigator will also dock along it's journey from Duluth Minnesota to Milwaukee Wisconson, another 7 day Great Lakes tour. 👍👍

We had a great time on our tour, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and clearly had a passion for the preservation of this piece of local history. The ship itself has been restored with lots of care and you can see many parts of it including the bridge, lounge, galley, mess halls and various living quarters. Some rooms of the ship have been turned into mini exhibits for local history. The ship has some great views of the bay and there are a few Trolley Buses you can visit as well. I highly recommend visiting!

A hidden gem for sure!! We had the pleasure of a small guided tour by Lily, a local high school student who knew absolutely everything about this ship and it's operations. Her knowledge and ability to answer our questions was just as impressive as the large ship. If you are looking for something different to do, I highly suggest taking some time to explore the Alexander Henry. Oh, and don't forget after your tour you can explore some early street cars that were used in the city. Enjoy!!

It was great! Went on a Saturday afternoon. We had a tour, it was one hour, very informative, saw lots of rooms, lots artifacts, recovered pieces from the bottom of the lake, learned about shipwrecks, learned about the history of the Alexander Henry and Thunder Bay. Very nice staff and volunteers, knowledgeable and can answer lots of questions. Would recommend as a great boat museum to visit. And the tour is worth the admission price. Don’t forget to sign their guest book!

The other day we went on a little tour of the Alexander Henry boat. I can't remember our tour guides name, I'm so bad with names. But he was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions to the best he could. We were lucky enough to see Thunder Bay pipe band play for the cruise ship before it left. I highly recommend for you to go. You can do the tour or walk around by yourself.

Was driving the marina area to get pictures of the Sleeping Giant when I happened upon this area by accident. Visited to get a pic of the Henry and the Sleeping Giant! Was closed and gated at the time of my visit but looks to be a beautiful attraction when open. Some great Thunder Bay history. Shares a space with a helicopter tour company.
