The Lottie Cooper was built in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, in 1876 when three-masted cargo ships were common on the Great Lakes, moving goods from port to port. In the summer of 1993, the remains of the Lottie Cooper were put on educational display at the lakefront along Broughton Drive, where she continues to tell the story of early maritime shipping near Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
