Memorial Day: Lost Boat Ceremony

Every year on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, the Great Lakes Naval Memorial and Museum holds the Lost Boat Ceremony. This event honors the 52 submarines and and 3,000 men who were lost during WWII. Each year there is a different keynote speaker. This past year guests were honored to have Admiral Richard Anderson speak about his experiences on USS BLENNY, SS-324, and USS CORPORAL, SS-346. 

The ceremony for 2006 is planned for May 28 at 11:00am.  This event is free to the public, and following the ceremony a free walk-thru tour is offered to all of those in attendance.
