Help Preserve the Milwaukee Clipper

Membership in the Great Lakes Clipper Preservation Association is more than a donation — it is an opportunity to become part of the continuing story of the S.S. Milwaukee Clipper, a National Historic Landmark and one of the last remaining examples of streamlined Art Deco passenger ship design in the United States.

Every membership directly supports the ongoing restoration, preservation, maintenance, and educational mission of the Milwaukee Clipper.

Together, we are preserving more than a ship. We are protecting the craftsmanship, engineering, elegance, and stories of the golden age of Great Lakes passenger travel.
