Wisconsin's Maritime Trails

The remains of the Lottie Cooper are accessible to the public year round at the Sheboygan waterfront in DeLand Park. In April of 1896 the three-masted schooner Lottie Cooper was wrecked just off Sheboygan, Wisconsin, in a roaring gale. The wreckage was found buried in Sheboygan Harbor during the construction of the Harbor Marina. The wreckage was recovered and is now on display on Sheboygan's lake front. Numerous signs and drawings give the visitor a view of what a 19th century lake schooner was like. The display, the only one of its kind on the Great Lakes, is outdoors and free! From I-43 take Hwy 23 into Sheboygan and then follow the signs to Harbor Marina.
