The Neeskay, the 51ÁÔÆæ School of Freshwater Sciences\u2019 research vessel, is beached on land for a few weeks while it undergoes its regular five-year maintenance.<\/p>\n

Captain Max Morgan sailed the Neeskay to Manitowoc through choppy seas on Lake Michigan Oct. 16, navigating a short way up the Manitowoc River to Burger Boat<\/a>. There, a large travel lift hauled the Neeskay \u2013 all 71 feet and 75 tons of it \u2013 out of the water and onto a dry dock.<\/p>\n

Over the course of six weeks, workers at Burger Boat Company will check the hull, valves, prop, rudder and other mechanicals, and provide a fresh coat of paint.<\/p>\n

Built in 1953 in New Orleans, the Neeskay was an Army T-boat used for tug and transport duties in the Korean War. 51ÁÔÆæ bought it in 1970 and had it converted into a research vessel at Peterson Builders in Sturgeon Bay. It remains the only research vessel that explores the Great Lakes year-round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
