STE. CLAIRE (steamer), also known as Steamer STE. CLAIRE, is a ship located in Toledo, Ohio that was formerly located in Detroit, Michigan. It was declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1992.[1][1][3]

The ship was designed by Frank E. Kirby, who also designed the Columbia (steamer).

According to the National Park Service, "Ste. Claire was launched at Toledo Shipbuilding Company in 1910, and entered service later that year as part of the fleet operated by the Detroit & Windsor Ferry Company. For 81 years, this vessel carried passengers to Bois Blanc (Bob-Lo) Island, a record of service on a single run unequalled in U.S. maritime history."[1]
