Pre-Events final big cruise on the Milwaukee River.
DAY 4-WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2017 THE MILWAUKEE RIVER
The area along Lake Michigan near Milwaukee was once a vast and fertile wetland. The Native Americans living in the area called this place “Milwaukee”; “The Place Where Waters Come Together”. Here three rivers, Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic flow into Lake Michigan. The wetlands are gone, replaced by a working port and bustling community activity area.
After launching our boats from McKinley Marina, we will travel across the protected harbor gathering at the lagoon in sight of the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Calatrava – Burke Brise Soleil. We’ll explore the inner harbor of Milwaukee via a guided water tour. What once were industrial arteries and buildings are now gentrified into fashionable condominiums, restaurants, and pubs.
Test your powers of observation with a Scavenger Hunt. See if you can find the landmarks. Prizes will be awarded for those with the most correct answers. A box lunch is included.
When done with the cruise in the afternoon we’ll haul out the boats and head south to Racine to the Antique & Classic Boat Society’s Annual Meeting and International Boat Show.
Pre-Events were sponsored by the Glacier Lakes Chapter of ACBS.
