Lost Mariners Brunch
Great Lakes historian Joel Stone, Curator Emeritus of the Detroit Historical Society, talks about life aboard a freighter on Sunday, November 8, at 10 a.m. at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum in Detroit, with balladeer Lee Murdock and a themed brunch. Tickets are $85.
This Lost Mariners Remembrance Brunch honors the sailors lost on the Great Lakes. Joel Stone explores what life aboard a freighter was really like and how working conditions, sleeping quarters and meals have changed over the generations.
Beloved Great Lakes balladeer Lee Murdock performs, and the menu draws on the Edmund Fitzgerald chapter of George Yaworski's Ships of the Great Lakes Cookbook: Knickerbocker bean soup and corn chowder, macaroni salad and Greek salad with pickled beets, chicken paprikash, beef stew with mashed potatoes, and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Coffee, iced tea and lemonade are served.
Because of the set menu, dietary restrictions and special requests can't be accommodated. The brunch runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and general admission is $85.
