Earth Is Blue: The Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc

March 2015

Beginning March 14, 2015, the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin began hosting the Treasures of NOAA's Ark exhibit. The exhibit showcases artifacts representing science, service and stewardship by NOAA and its ancestor agencies. The museum also installed Wisconsin’s Underwater Treasures, an exhibit that showcases artifacts as well as photographs and interviews highlighting shipwrecks of the mid-lake region of Lake Michigan. Both exhibits will run from March 14 through October 31, 2015. NOAA recently added a Lake Michigan (Wisconsin) nomination to its inventory of successful nominations from which it may consider national marine sanctuary designation.
