Once we’ve crossed the pedestrian bridge, we can descend to street level and walk south toward the newest denizen of the lakefront. Featuring everything from an aquarium to audio and video production studios, Discovery World is a tech-savvy distraction for adults and kids.
During warmer months you can't fail to notice, however, a blast from the past docked next to this futuristic building: the S/V Denis Sullivan, a 137-foot wooden schooner. A replica of the many shipping vessels that carried cargo and passengers in and out of Milwaukee's harbor in centuries past, the Denis Sullivan helps illustrate what words can’t – that while Milwaukeeans look forward to the future, they still remain proud of and loyal to their past.
