Shipwreck Exhibit Returns to Zeeland Museum Backing Sale Interest
The Zeeland Dekker-Huis & Historical Museum revisits Lost & Found: Ship wrecks of West Michigan by Valerie Van Heest after a seven year pause. Suzy Frederick notes the show’s remount drew local and international visitors and may be rented or sold to fund the museum, with panels detailing ships like the Iron sides and the Milwaukee and accompanying underwater photos. The museum, run by Zeeland Historical Society, relies on donations and 26 volunteers, and invites guests to view artifacts and access a searchable database of wrecks at 34 E Main St and zeelandhistory.org.
