WUAA will once again be conducting a public citizen science shipwreck search.
This year's target is the big schooner Plymouth that was lost in the great storm of 1913.
She was last seen when left at anchor in the lee of Little Gull Island off the Door Peninsula.
We will once again be chartering Friends of Plum & Pilot Islands' vessel The Shoreline to conduct the search and will be departing out of Jackson Harbor on Washington Island.
Registrants must register for EITHER Friday, 6/26 OR Saturday, 6/27.
All Friday participants must arrive before 6PM on Thursday the 25th via the Washington Island Ferry.
Registrants for Saturday must arrive before 6PM on Friday the 26th via the Washington Island Ferry.
Registrants who cannot book their own accommodations are welcome to lodge with WUAA at private residence, but should expect to bring a blowup mattress, sleeping bag and possibly a tent.
All participants must depart by 10AM Sunday the 28th.
Participants are responsible for booking their own passage on the Washington Island Ferry, which is currently $46 for one adult and one vehicle.
Registration is $125 per person per day, with a limit of one day per person in order to maximize participant opportunities.
We recommend staying the full weekend, as Washington Island has many other recreational opportunities.
Registration will be posted on May 15th on the WUAA website and will be first come, first served.
