Small U-Boat.

Replica U-Boat

The Replica U-Boat is still at the Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum, although it is currently tucked in next to the building and kind of easy to miss.

[George Barker, 03/15/2025]

The scaled-down U-boat is on a trailer and usually parked on the grass. Maybe it's moved near the building when the museum mows the lawn.
