Denis Sullivan returns to Milwaukee


September 2, 2010

 
MILWAUKEE - Six tall ships are stopping in Milwaukee.

Five ships have accompanied the S/V Denis Sullivan to her home port in Lake Michigan at Discovery World near downtown Milwaukee. They arrived Wednesday and will leave Friday to their home ports.

The ships just completed the Great Lakes Tall Ship Challenge, where the vessels and several other tall ships sailed through the Great Lakes this summer visiting Toronto, Cleveland, Bay City, Mich., Duluth, Green Bay and Chicago.

The Denis Sullivan is a 137-foot three-masted schooner that led the other ships and sailed over 3,500 nautical miles.

The five other ships are from Bay City, Mich., Greenport, N.Y., Suttons Bay, Mich., and St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
