Here's some more Ford Fleet "triva" for ya- The wheelhouse of the William Clay is on Belle Isle in the Detroit River at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum. It's attached to the building and is a permanent display. It is open to the public with free admission. I was just there on Saturday.

About 5-7 years ago the wheelhouse to the Henry Ford II was in a scrap yard in Windsor, Ont.
