This museum is actually now in Superior. I believe the vessel you are referring to is the William A. Irvin. It is pretty much right next to the Bong museum. http://duluthhauntedship.com/ Hope this helps  :salute.
Uh-oh. I bet Poplar's pissed now. That was they're claim to fame. (Poplar was his hometown) I am glad to see this hero get a setup like that tho. It is well deserved and proper. I only hope that more of the kids today realize what sacrifices we're made by the kids of yesterday.

Yea, I'm gonna have to head back that way again. That museum is light years away from what was originally there. I'm serious, that museum used to be a glass trophy case, the CMOH in a shadow box on the wall, and some pictures hanging up. (Read the little plaque in the picture of the medal) That was it. I'm glad they came through with it. I'm beginning to think that aint the same plane tho. I was looking at some pictures from that time and the plane had yellow marings, and no vertical supports in the intakes. If ya go BluTrain, go in the summer time and head to Lake Nebagomon for a day. Great walleye fishing.

It is the same plane. They have a nice folder of the tear down and restoring process of the plane. It took them 7 years to restore it. They did a great job on it. Thanks for the compliments guys.
