Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Museum


We toured this museum while en route to our next destination Cheboygan State Park.  This museum is located adjacent to Thunder Bay in the city of Alpina, Michigan.  We spent a good three hours enjoying the free exhibits and videos of the hundreds of ships lost at sea in the 1800's and early 1900's.  There is a tour on a glass bottom boat where you can see some of the sunken ships in the bay, but the day we visited, it was cancelled due to high winds on the water.  It started to rain as we left and we traveled through a strong storm with thunder, lighting, and heavy rain on our way to our next stop.
