Hello All,

The August UASC meeting is this Wednesday, September 24th. UASC meetings are held at the Chicago Maritime Museum located at 1200 West 35th Street, Suite OE5010, Chicago, IL 60609. Free parking is available adjacent to the facility. Use the entrance next to the loading dock on the north side of the building (same side you will park on). The door is at ground level and the museum is on the lower level down the stairway.

The White Sox will be out of town so there won't be any game related traffic.


We do not have a speaker lined up this month so instead I thought this would be a great opportunity to take look at some historical work previously produced by UASC. The topic will be "This Old Boat", a lecture on sailing vessels presented back in 1998 by one of our board members, Dave Truitt.

We'll also discuss and hopefully make some intial plans for the UASC car ferry exhibit at the Illinois Railway Museum. We will be looking for help to pull this project together. I also expect to have an update on the direction of the UASC web site as well.

I hope to see you all at the meeting

Bob Rushman
UASC President
