I stopped by the Little Current docks for a few minutes today and this ship was tied up. She is the United States Geological Survey ship Sturgeon, out of Cheboygan, Michigan and at 101' long it was an impressive site to see. I'm not too sure what it's in town for but the USGS has lately been investigating the decline in fresh fish in the great lakes so something to do with this is a safe bet.
Make sure you stop by these docks if you are a visitor to Manitoulin. It's full of boats of all sizes throughout the summer but looks pretty quite right now. Come take a look in July or August and you'll see a big difference. 
The bandstand can be a real hoppin' place also, especially during Haweater Weekend. What's Haweater Weekeng you ask? You'll just have to come and see for yourself, the first long weekend in August every year. I'll save you a hot dog!
