There is a place up in the I believe Green bay or Marinette area where they build Ships.I used to work for a lady in Plainfeild who's son built parts for those ships and I went with her many times to take parts to the ship araea and we went past this place where a ship now stands that floated onto the shore of wisconsin, way back when and had no-body on it.They found it and now you can actually visit the ship and see what it looked like inside,There are lots of interesting stories and lores about the way it was found.

I am guessing you mean Marinette Shipbuilding? (I have a few cousins working there, or who used to work there) When I was young, I used to go to Marinette/Peshtigo/Oconto often, for the summer, or weekends (due to parents health problems, or dad's working agenda -- he was a police man -- when my mom was pregnant and hospitalized). Too young to stay alone. Used to stay by my grandparents house, or uncle & aunts. We used to go to this place between Marinette and Menominee, MI -- it was called Mystery Ship Seaport. This might be the link -- www.acbs-bslol.com/Porthole/AlvinClark.htm , hopefully this will open a new window. I remember hearing it was haunted, and I was about 7. Seeing the ship, the green/blue cheese, the narrow walkways, and holding my breath and moving on with my aunt, intruiged. It all seems so long ago... I have not seen this structure there in years, and with my grandma's death a year ago, I have not been in that area as much as I used to be when she was alive. Still, if it was there today, I would want to walk my kids thru it.... I wish I had pics of it. Or more memory of it. Does anyone remember this place? Curious.... |
