The Michigan Maritime Museum is offering a rare chance to step into the role of a Great Lakes scientist during its Science Expedition Cruise, a limited-engagement event in partnership with the Annis Water Resources Institute (AWRI).

Climb aboard the W.G. Jackson, a working research vessel, and join real scientists in collecting water samples, testing water quality, and learning firsthand about the ecology of Lake Michigan and the Black River. This is more than just a boat ride—it’s science in action.

“This is an unforgettable opportunity to experience the science that protects our lakes. Being out on the water, seeing the systems up close—it’s an incredible way to understand the ecology of Lake Michigan and our Great Lakes,”
— Bailey Sisoy-Moore, Executive Director Michigan Maritime Museum
