Spend the night on the USS COBIA!

USS COBIA at night

The Wisconsin Maritime Museum's USS COBIA Overnight Education Program offers people a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience first-hand a taste of the submarine lifestyle. The program offers not only an educational alternative to the traditional camp-out, it also facilitates an appreciation of history and insight into a unique time in America's past.

Overnight participants will receive a guided tour and overnight accommodation on board a World War II submarine. In addition to undertaking various educational activities, participants will be offered special supervised access to some non-public areas of the submarine and admission to the Museum. Advance reservations are required. For details on making a reservation and planning your overnight stay, please download and review the answers to our Frequently Asked Questions.pdf.

While many memoirs are available, few WWII submarine novels have been written, and none until now specifically for young people.
