ISEA Team Visits NOAA Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary at Alpena

After our visit to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, our road trip continued to the NOAA Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary at Alpena.  Thanks to Jeff Grey, Russ Green and Sarah Waters for giving us a great tour of this fantastic facility.  

How many places can you find a full size 19th century schooner (at least part of one) in a museum?

You can climb aboard, walk on deck and go below.  Careful of that big wave coming over the bow.
