2009: Lake Superior Expedition –
Sail Away from Bay to Bay
This year’s tall ship expedition is now within reach
of more people and more wallets. Our original 2009
program was planned before the economy hit some
rough seas. A course correction was in order so we
created an intensive but affordable 2-day expedition
which will start and end in Houghton after visiting
Keweenaw Bay, Huron Bay and Bete Grise Bay. For
educators looking for a Continuing Education
opportunity, Michigan Technological University
offers 1 credit for an additional fee. This is not a
pleasure cruise but a hands-on experience where you
will learn the rigging and traditional sailing
techniques of a 3-masted Great Lakes schooner and
USCG certified sailing school vessel. Everyone
raises sail and takes a turn at the wheel! This
adventure will take the S/V Denis Sullivan past
several of the region’s historic lighthouses, the
backdrop for learning about Lake Superior’s maritime
history, aquatic ecology, and the Keweenaw’s past,
present, and future.
Expedition Cost:
$400/person, plus $125 for MTU tuition/registration
if participating for credit
