Goderich could be back in the Great Lakes cruise business in the near future.
Town CAO Larry McCabe has invited the head of Great Lakes Cruise Lines to a meeting in Goderich this spring.
The cruise company is hoping to double the number of cruise ship voyages on the Great Lakes and McCabe would like to see Goderich become one of their stops. Cruise ships have come into Goderich in the past.
The first step is paying a $5,000 fee to become a member of the group.
McCabe says there won't be any cruise ships this summer but he's optimistic there could be in the next few years.
"Oddly enough we just found a brochure in files from 1921 where the cruise ships were going to Detroit from Goderich and back and it was June 14, 1921," he says. "It was $2 to go from Goderich to Detroit on the cruise ship and three dollars if you wanted a return trip."
