THE S.S. CITY OF MILWAUKEE
The last of six sister ships designed in the 1920's and built by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Company in Wisconson. It's service routes took it across Lake Michigan year round through treacherous ice and storms. The ship's sturdy ice breaking hull carried an entire freight train while the passangers stayed aloft in varnished oak and
brass interiors done in the craftsman style.
COAST GUARD CUTTER
ACACIA (WLB 406)
The Acacia is one of 39 180 foot seagoing bouy tenders built for the United States Coast Guard between
1942 and 1944. The cutter is a multipurpose vessel, used for bouy tending, icebreaking, search and rescue, fire fighting, logistics and other tasks. The Acacia's primary duty was maintaining more than 210 bouys, lighthouses and other navigational aids.
