Lakefront strollers have been keeping an eye on a large, seemingly out-of-place cargo vessel with curiosity as it remains anchored in open water — now for more than a week.
"We're in the same boat as everybody else in not knowing why they've been hunkered out there this whole time," said Paul Fladten, public relations manager for nearby Discovery World, whose captains and crew members of the museum's tall ship, the Denis Sullivan, have learned little about the ship despite sailing by it and exchanging waves and honks with its passengers.
The Lugano, a bulk carrier ship, could stay glued to its spot about a mile from the McKinley Marina indefinitely, according to Wayne Johnson, the Port of Milwaukee harbor master.
