The Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority Public Dock and Terminal
By Roy Jones, Contributing Editor
October 11, 2012
The Grand Mariner, a 184-foot cruise ship from Cleveland, and its 40 passengers arrived at the new Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority Public Dock and Terminal (DWCPA) in mid-July 2011, making it the first large cruise ship to use the long-awaited dock and facility. While the passengers spent the day visiting Detroit area attractions, a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place in front of the cruise ship and the new $22 million facility. Among the dignitaries who took part in the ceremony were Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, U.S. Senator Carl Levin, U.S. Rep. Hansen Clark, and Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano. Senator Levin was a driving force behind this project, which received federal funds and grants and was years in the making.
