TELESCOPE Page 58 MEMBERSHIP NOTES @ The museum will be celebrating its 25th anniversary in 1985. We have received a grant from the State of Michigan to present a shipwreck exhibit titled "Michigan Nautical Time Capsules". The exhibit will open in January and identify prominent examples of nautical architecture on the bottomlands of the lakes. Information and materials on exhibit will be from the Sandusky, Edmund Fitzgerald, Wm. Barnum, Indiana, Carl D. Bradley, Daniel J. Morrell and Alvin Clark. More information will follow in Telescope. Curator John Polacsek has produced Captain of the Fleet, a game designed to teach players the economy and geography of the Great Lakes. A map of the lakes is printed on a vinyl surface with ports and shipyards. The object is to complete the required number of trips while overcoming obstacles such as weather delays, mechanical breakdowns and collisions. The game is available at the museum for $14.50 plus $2.50 for postage and handling.
