19th-Century Great Lakes Schooner Goes To Duluth

(AP) The Fourth of July celebrations in northeastern Minnesota include the display of a replica Great Lakes cargo schooner at the Duluth harbor.

The Denis Sullivan is a replica of a 137-foot, 19th-century Great Lakes cargo schooner and is named in honor of 19th-century Great Lakes sailor and businessman, Capt. Denis Sullivan.

It's Wisconsin's state flagship and is typically part of Milwaukee's Discovery World attraction at Pier Wisconsin.

The three-masted ship will be on display behind the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center from Friday through Tuesday.

Tours of the ship will be available for $5.50. It will also take two-hour sailing trips on Lake Superior on Monday. Tickets for that are $45.

According to the Great Lakes Information Network, Lake Superior has the largest surface area of any freshwater lake in the world.
