	Wisconsin Maritime Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wisconsin Maritime Museum is a maritime museum founded in 1968 as the Manitowoc Maritime Museum to ensure that the maritime heritage of Manitowoc, Wisconsin and the Great Lakes would not be forgotten.
		The Museum was founded by former submariners and civic leaders who wanted to bring a World War II submarine to Manitowoc to commemorate the role the city played in building submarines and supporting the war effort.
		In 1970, the United States Navy donated the USS Cobia to the museum, which is the same type of submarine constructed in Manitowoc during the war.
