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.
