Loose lips sink ships— but so do storms and icebergs! Popular presentation Wreck-a-palooza returns to the Museum of the Great Lakes for the second part of its biannual presentation. Hear speakers discuss the most prolific shipwrecks of the Great Lakes along with other fascinating tales of life on the water. The presentations for the second portion of this event (part one occurred in June) are “Davidson’s Goliaths – Evolution of Design of the Great Lakes’ Longest Wooden Ships,” at 11am and “The Wreck of the Railroad Car Ferry Milwaukee” at 1pm. A single presentation for non-members of the Museum is $15, or $35 for both presentations (including a box lunch). Your ticket to the lectures includes access to the Museum itself. 11am-2pm. Saturday, October 7.
