the new pier, home of the S/V Denis Sullivan

Wisconsin's flagship, the S/V Denis Sullivan, is an educational sailing vessel connecting learners of all ages to the Great Lakes, oceans and our world of water through experiential learning and technology. The S/V Denis Sullivan is a recreation of a 19th century three-masted cargo schooner which sailed the Great Lakes at a time when schooners were commanded by hearty souls and nature's forces. The S/V Denis Sullivan was completed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2000 by professional shipwrights and nearly 1,000 volunteers. Annually the S/V Denis Sullivan travels over 18,000 nautical miles a year from her summer home at Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin, along the eastern seaboard to her winter home in Southern Florida. The journey is an unparalleled exploration of the five Great Lakes, East Coast and Caribbean, and the hydrological cycle in its entirety. The S/V Denis Sullivan is a modern educational sailing vessel with two 180 hp diesel engines, a scientific laboratory, two computer workstations and a modern communication and navigation equipment. She maintains single bunks in co-ed areas, shared toilets (heads) and showers, and limited storage. The vessel can carry up to 22 passengers overnight and 50 passengers on day sails. She is complemented by a professional crew of ten.
