Those who like to watch the ships depart after undergoing winter repairs in Sturgeon Bay are being asked to take health advisories seriously.  Photographers, ship fans, and other visitors are drawn to Door County at the end of March to watch the big ships begin their Great Lakes sailing seasons.  Pam Seiler, Executive Director of Destination Sturgeon Bay, recommends that ship fans take social distancing to heart even outside and consider other viewing options.

Seiler says Destination Sturgeon Bay's website, SturgeonBay.net will continue to post the scheduled departure times for vessels for anyone wanting to see the ships in person.
