UWM Anthropology is proud to announce that alum Kevin Cullen, along with his team, recently discovered the final resting place of a 131-year old Schooner named the Margaret A. Muir at the bottom of Lake Michigan near Algoma, WI. Kevin and his team used specially-built sonar equipment to map the bottom of the lake in a location they thought the wreck would be located based on historical research. Kevin graduated from UWM-Milwaukee with a Masters in Anthropology and a certificate in Museum Studies and is now the Director of the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, WI.
