The GLSPS has their own research vessel to use as a dive platform to facilitate most of our Underwater projects.  If you have a boat, you know how much work it takes to maintain it.

On Sunday, June 3rd, and after the initial launch and shakedown, any member and their companion / spouse are invited to join the GLSPS for a cruise on the Scenic St Louis River and Duluth / Superior Harbor.  We will be leaving at 10:00 AM and returning at 12:00 PM Noon to join us for a appreciation BBQ for members that join us.  (Bring your camera's)!
