🎉 Happy Birthday, Greg! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating someone who gives so much of himself to the Icebreaker Mackinaw Maritime Museum. Greg is the kind of volunteer who always goes above and beyond, never hesitates to lend a hand, and can always be counted on when there’s work to be done.

His dedication, generosity, and willingness to help make such a difference—not only to the Mackinaw, but to everyone who walks through our doors. We are incredibly grateful for all the time, hard work, and heart he gives to the museum.

Greg, thank you for everything you do and for being such an important part of our IMMM family. We hope you have a wonderful birthday—you deserve it! ❤️

Happy Birthday, Greg! 🎂🎉

A BIG THANK YOU to the National Museum of the Great Lakes

This summer, we had the incredible opportunity to host the traveling exhibit “Submarine History on the Great Lakes” aboard the Icebreaker Mackinaw Maritime Museum—and our visitors LOVED it!
The exhibit brought another fascinating piece of Great Lakes maritime history aboard the Mackinaw and gave our guests the chance to discover the surprising story of submarines on the Great Lakes.
We are so grateful to the National Museum of the Great Lakes for sharing this wonderful exhibit with us and for their continued dedication to preserving and sharing the stories of our Great Lakes.
Partnerships like this allow us to bring new experiences aboard the Mackinaw and give our visitors even more reasons to come back and explore.
Thank you, National Museum of the Great Lakes, for an amazing summer partnership!
