LEGEND OF A WISCONSIN WHALEBOAT

The city of Mentor, OH in 2011, sold this 26-foot whaleboat to Nauticus The National Maritime Center, located on the Elizabeth River waterfront of Downtown Norfolk, VA. USS Wisconsin BB-64 lies in her birth at Nauticus.
This whaleboat has been reunited with the ship she served on during the Persian Gulf War. As of April 26, 2012 Nauticus started using the whaleboat for a 30 minute narrated tour of the Battleship Wisconsin to see and learn interesting facts about the ship and her home port of Norfolk.
