The USS Detroit has docked in front of the Renaissance in downtown Detroit.

The ship left from Wisconsin earlier this week and made its way through Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake St. Clair and down the Detroit River before docking.

Welcoming ceremonies begin at 2 p.m. near the GM Ren Cen on Friday. There are events happening all week long to celebrate the commissioning on Oct. 22. For more information, visit their website or Facebook page.

There are free tours of the ship on Wednesday, Oct. 19 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The tours are free and are first-come-first-serve.
