Great Lakes Shipwrecks Family Activity Day
On Saturday, November 7th, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. the Wisconsin Maritime Museum invites visitors to participate in its Great Lakes Shipwrecks Family Activity Day. Visitors can learn about diving in Lake Michigan from Mike Hansen, owner of Maritime Divers, at 10:30. Families can complete a shipwreck-related scavenger hunt in the museum’s galleries. The museum’s education staff will tell the tragic tales of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, the steamer Eastland, and the schooner Rouse Simmons. Children and parents can discover what it’s like to explore a shipwreck using objects in our simulated shipwreck site. Short documentaries on shipwreck preservation will also be showing in the museum theater. All activities are free with regular museum admission or museum membership.
