I think the relationship between the Pearl Mist will be a great benefit to the City of Milwaukee. Now I understand why Discovery World was so interested in moving the Denis Sullivan out of the port. Funding was reportedly the issue. If I remember correctly, costs to Discovery World were $500,000 a year. This is very small change compared to the hundred of millions of dollars that have been funded by philanthropy in the last decade on the new Museum, the Milwaukee Repertory Theater renovation, and all the new school charter/choice building that is going on. The Denis Sullivan was a unique symbol of the maritime history of Milwaukee and the Great Lakes. Now the only existing replica of a three masted Great Lakes Schooner built in Milwaukee is sailing out of Boston.
