Captain Frank's opened in 1954, then the sole occupant of the East 9th St. Pier. Note the vessel at upper right. It was a German U-505 submarine that was docked along the pier for a few days in 1954 en route to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The U.S.S. Cod later occupied the same berth after being decommissioned and moved from the St. Lawrence Seaway to Cleveland in 1959. The Cod's five diesel engines were built by General Motors' Cleveland Diesel Plant on the west side of Cleveland. | Source: Cleveland State University, Department of Special Collections
