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 Submarine s 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. The ''Cobia'', permanently berthed in the Manitowoc River adjacent to the museum, hosts thousands of visitors each year. EXTERNAL LINKS |
