Ghost Ships Festival

Join us at the Inn on Maritime Bay in Manitowoc for Wisconsin’s 19th Ghost Ships Festival. This year’s event features Presentations about new shipwreck discoveries on the Lakes, exhibits about Great Lakes shipwrecks, maritime history, maritime archeology and scuba diving, and Virtual 3D Great Lakes Shipwreck Tours.  

Over 30 sponsors and exhibitors will have booths, exhibits and presentations, as well as merchandise for sale and opportunities for the public to participate in fieldwork and research. The event will culminate in a presentation by Great Lakes historian Dan Fountain about his discovery of the wreck of the steamer Arlington on Lake Superior, which made national headlines last week.

Tickets for the full two-day event are $25 at the door or $20 if you pre-register online.  People 18 and under will be admitted for free.  Pre-registration is encouraged and can be done online.
