Wisconsin Marine Historical Society Finishes Vessel Data Base VOLUME XVI NO. 1 FOR GREAT LAKES MUSEUMS, ASSOCIATIONS AND HISTORIANS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 1999 INSTITUTIONAL MEMBER NEWS Wisconsin Marine Historical DOOR COUNTY MARITIME MUSEUM Society finishes vessel data base This past fall, the Maritime Museum opened two temporary exhibits. The museum’s Mezzanine Gallery is hosting an exhibit entitled “The United States Coast Guard: 200 Years of History and Service” and features information on both the service’s national history, and its past and present ships and stations in Door County. In conjunction with that exhibit, works by Coast Guard artist Charles William Johnson are on display at the Maritime Museum. In addition, the museum recently replaced a model of the steamer South America, which was on loan from the Chicago Maritime Society, with a newly-built model of the ship by Larry and Bill Herbst. The Museum’s Board of Directors also recently announced a new campaign to raise $375,000 to payoff the debt remaining from construction of the museum’s new Sturgeon Bay Information on Great Lakes vessels, such as the U.S.C.G.C.

  • Chronology of Aids to Navigation and the United States Lighthouse Service 1716-1939
    CHRONOLOGY OF AIDS TO NAVIGATION AND THE UNITED STATES LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE 1716-1939 by Truman R. Strobridge Former U.S. Coast Guard Historian Introduction In contrast to the four other military services, the U. S. Coast Guard, besides being humanitarian-oriented, has an unique historical, administrative, and organizational lineage. Although the name of this Service is relatively new, its history dates back to the First Congress of the United States. Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, recognized the need of a floating police service as part of the national fiscal organization and, in 1789, Congress passed an act regulating the collection of duties on vessels and imported goods. The following year, the construction of revenue cutters were authorized. The Service, however, had no statutory designation but was variously known as "the system of cutters," "Revenue Marine," "Revenue-Marine Service," and even "Revenue Service" until the title "Revenue Cutter Service" found its first statutory use in an act passed in 1863. In 1915, the "Life-Saving Service" was combined with the "Revenue Cutter Service"’ to form the United States Coast Guard. In 1939, the "Bureau of Lighthouses" was transferred to the U. S. Coast Guard and, in 1942, many functions of the "Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation" were transferred to the Service. This organizational evolution of the U. S. Coast Guard, as well as a brief history of the Service, is contained in "Coast Guard History", another article on the USCG Historian’s website. Although by law the U. S. Coast Guard is a branch of the Armed Forces of the United States at all times, it operates in the Department of Homeland Security in peacetime and with the Navy Department in wartime.

It was made a state park in 1988. The railroad parallels much of the West Michigan Pike route but is most visible between Whitehall and Shelby. New Era New Era was found in 1878 by a group of Dutch that had been living in Montague serving as mill hands. They wanted to return to an agrarian lifestyle and purchased farms and planted peach orchards. In 1947, there were eighty-five Dutch families in New Era. 4856 Oceana, New Era New Era Canning Company The New Era Canning Company was established in 1910 by Edward P.

ONLY THE RIVER REMAINS: HISTORY AND MEMORY OF THE EASTLAND DISASTER IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION, 1915 – 2015 Caitlyn Perry Dial, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2016 On July 24, 1915, the passenger boat Eastland capsized while docked in the Chicago River, killing 844 of its 2,500 passengers. The Eastland Disaster remains the greatest loss-of-life tragedy on the Great Lakes. Using museum exhibits, government documents, trial transcripts, period newspapers, oral interviews, images, ephemera, and popular culture materials, this study examines the century after the disaster in terms of the place the Eastland has held in regional and national public memory. For much of that period, the public memory of the tragedy had been lost, but private memories survived through storytelling within the families of survivors, rescuers, and victims.

(July 26, 2011) – In a state known for its love of the good earth and clean waters, we thought it would be fun to create a list of the Natural Wonders of Wisconsin. We could have made the list twice as long, but for some reason seven seemed like the perfect number. These “Mother Nature-made” wonders are the setting for some of the best outdoor recreation in the nation. 1. The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Calling to the explorer in all of us, this national park is a grouping or “archipelago” of 21 wilderness islands dotting the cold waters of Lake Superior and more than a dozen miles of shoreline with some of the most pristine remaining sandscapes in the Great Lakes region. National Geographic Explorer magazine named it a top place to visit. There are old-growth forests, windswept beaches and cliffs. There are sea caves to explore, carved out over thousands of years by the rhythmic waves. When the winter weather conditions are right you can hike out to the caves to behold frozen waterfalls and chambers glistening with thousands of icicles. While beautiful from the shore, you must see them by boat or, even better, set foot on an island and camp at one of the 60-some rustic sites.
