You will see another vessel from World War II made its way to Sturgeon Bay this fall. The Maritime Executive publication reported earlier this month that the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc is preparing to bring its USS Cobia to Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding for extensive inspection and preventative maintenance. The USS Cobia was used as a training vessel after serving in the Pacific theater during World War II. It was brought to the then-Manitowoc Maritime Museum in 1986, where it has hosted thousands of visitors every year for tours and overnight experiences. Like the Door County Maritime Museum’s Tug John Purves, the USS Cobia spends time docked outside the Wisconsin Maritime Museum year-round. The museum is raising $1.5 million to tow it to and from Sturgeon Bay and perform an inspection and preventative maintenance in September. The work is expected to take four to six weeks. This will not be the first time the USS Cobia has visited Sturgeon Bay to get work done. According to the museum, it was last dry-docked at Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding in 1996.  The Tug John Purves had similar work done last winter, returning to its spot along the Sturgeon Bay waterfront in time to greet visitors for its traditional May opening.
