Overview

About This Vessel

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.

A coverage-weighted blend of the single component we could read for this hull; the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
