Description: The “John A. Kling” was a self-unloader which could carry most types of dry bulk cargo such as coal, gravel, etc. It was built in 1922 by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company of Wisconsin. The “Kling” was owned by Reiss Steamship Company, and was named for Mr. John Adam Kling, who consolidated four Cleveland building supply companies into a new company called Cleveland Builders Supply in 1897. He served the company first as a general manager, and then in 1900 as its elected president until his death in 1936. This model was built in 1990 by Ted Koszucki.
