Travel Maritime Museum

The city of San Diego, California is known for four things: the sunny weather, the beautiful beaches, wildlife conservation and being the home of the United States Navy's Pacific Fleet. The city possesses a great deal of ingenuity in making the most of its assets; often combining two or more of these aspects to promote itself as a major destination for tourists and the retirement community. The city is very conscious of its strengths, one of which is that it is a favourite retreat of sailors and their families and provides a variety of attractions catering to their tastes and lifestyles, one of which is the Aircraft Carrier Museum.

The Aircraft Carrier Museum in downtown San Diego is one the many of its kind which pays tribute to the sailors who was once instrumental to the city's booming economy. It is also known as the USS Midway Museum as it houses the aircraft carrier Midway. Read the rest of this entry »

May is Museum Month so if you've been thinking about making this outing, this week might be a nice time.

Each year, about 59 million visitors visit Canadian museums-not just the big ones, but all the local operations featuring everything from ceramics to dories (our famed Maritime flat-bottom boats).

Most kids go to the museum at least once during the school year, but that doesn't mean you can't go again, or more often. In fact, one way to hook your kids on the museum is to tell them you'll go back to check out the stuff that really piqued their interest. Once the bug has bitten, you can expand the interest with books, toys, and related media. Read the rest of this entry »

Though it is hard to narrow down to just a handful, here are the museums I feel you should visit on your trip to Balboa Park: Read the rest of this entry »

Manitowoc, Wisconsin is situated on the shore of Lake Michigan. Followed Rte 42 South. Passed by an abandoned mine shaft build and hoist house in Maplewood. They were similar in position and style of the ones at the Quincy Mines in Hancock, MI. We don't know what was mined at this site. Because we were towing, we did not stop to ask.

Manitowoc is the home of a great maritime museum. We have been there before a few years ago. Since that time they moved into a new quarters and built a very large museum. Manitowoc was a major ship building community of WWII. Their specialty was submarines. Yes, submarines on Lake Michigan. The USS Cobra is a WWII sub, harbored on the Manitowoc River, which is open to tourists. Ironically, in the Midwest you can tour two important submarines form both combating sides during the war: the German U505 in Chicago and USS Cobra in Manitowoc. Read the rest of this entry »
