Rivers of Steel's PGH 101: An Intro to Innovation is a 90-minute sightseeing cruise of Pittsburgh's three rivers on the 94-foot Explorer riverboat.
This cruise tells how Pittsburgh became the dynamic city it is today, known as a modern tech and robotics hub built on a foundation of industry, capital, and reinvention.
The tour digs deep into Pittsburgh's origins to share how the region's industries have been on the vanguard of industrial reinvention for more than 250 years. It explains how those industries were influenced by the region's topography, natural resources, and entrepreneurial spirit.
