SUMMARY:Think & Drink: The 1980 Eruption & Recovery of Mount St. Helens
DESCRIPTION:When Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18\, 1980\, it instantly transformed hundreds of square miles of lush Pacific Northwest forest into a silent wasteland. Though while the world watched what looked like an absolute ecological dead zone\, a quiet and unexpected rebellion of life was already beginning just beneath the grey surface. \nJoin author and science writer Dr. Eric Wagner as he explores the fascinating ecological aftermath of this historic eruption. Drawing from his acclaimed book\, After the Blast: The Ecological Recovery of Mount St. Helens\, Eric’s program traces how plants and animals transformed our understanding of how ecosystems rebuild after a major disaster. He tells a story of remarkable natural resilience that challenges how we view catastrophe and renewal in the wild. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Eric Wagner is a writer and biologist based in Seattle. He holds a PhD in biology from the University of Washington and is the author of multiple works\, including After the Blast: The Ecological Recovery of Mount St. Helens\, and Seabirds as Sentinels: Auklets\, Puffins\, Shearwaters\, and the View from Destruction Island. His work on science\, nature\, and the environment has appeared in Smithsonian\, Orion\, and High Country News. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, with refreshments available for purchase. Each event features a specialty cocktail. \nDoors and cash bar open at 6:00 PM. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at the limited bar. The presentation and livestream will begin at 6:30 PM. To access the livestream of this event\, please register here: https://forms.gle/DbaUnmCiVFFsBRNk6 \n\nThe Wisconsin Maritime Museum is located at 75 Maritime Drive\, Manitowoc\, WI 54220. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Green Bay Packers Foundation.

SUMMARY:Shine She Must: Keeping Cobia Alive — Documentary Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Join the Wisconsin Maritime Museum for the one-night-only premiere of Shine She Must: Keeping Cobia Alive\, a documentary chronicling USS Cobia’s journey through an extensive dry-dock maintenance project in 2025. \nOn September 7\, 2025\, World War II submarine USS Cobia left her home port in Manitowoc for Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay for long-overdue maintenance. More than a restoration story\, Shine She Must follows museum staff\, shipyard crews\, volunteers\, and the waterfront community as they take on the massive task of preserving one of America’s most historically accurate fleet submarines. \nBattling time\, Mother Nature\, and mounting costs\, the film explores the very real challenge of preserving living history—and what happens when a community comes together to ensure Cobia’s legacy is not forgotten. It is a story of craftsmanship\, local pride\, and the people determined to keep this remarkable piece of Wisconsin and American history alive. \nEvent Schedule: \n\n6:00 p.m. — Social Hour at Mertens Lounge\, Capitol Civic Centre\n7:00 p.m. — Documentary Screening\nFollowing the film — Q&A with Karen Duvalle\, Submarine Curator\, and Justin Pehrson\, Filmmaker\n\nTickets: $10 per person\nTickets include admission to the social hour\, film screening\, and Q&A. Tickets are available at cccshows.org/events/shine-she-must/. \nThis screening is part of the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast International Film Festival and is presented in partnership with the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary and Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast Friends. \nThe Wisconsin Maritime Museum thanks Associated Bank for sponsoring the filmmaking.
