Montague's World Largest Weathervane

Montague, just north of Muskegon, displays the world's largest weathervane, standing 48 feet tall with a 26 foot arrow. A 19th century schooner named Ella Ellenwood graces the top. Her home port used to be in Montague. The whole sculpture weighs two tons with a weather station in its base. It was built in Montague by the employees of the Whitehall factory.

Great Lakes tall ship: Denis Sullivan

Once in a while you might catch sight of this tall ship called the Denis Sullivan on our Michigan lakes. This is the world's only replica of a traditional Great Lakes schooner. Ten years old now, it's actually a floating school, outfitted with computers and technology for studying ecological systems. It was recently seen in Bay City for their Tall Ship Festival. Today it is in Houghton, ready to set sail for Duluth. It can sleep 21 passengers on overnights! High School students can sail Aug 2-6 from Duluth to Sault Ste Marie with their Science Under Sail program. Ship ahoy!
