The Aquarama was sent to Chicago Illinois and docked at Navy Pier in the summer of 1955 before touring other Great Lakes ports. I am saddened by the way it has been abandoned and I urge someone to please restore that great piece of Lake. The Aquarama began its life in 1945 as a transoceanic troop carrier called the Marine Star.
