Tentatively scheduled for Monday, July 13, the USS Silversides will depart for dry dock to undergo essential maintenance and preservation work. This is a rare opportunity to witness the historic submarine leave her home port, a moment that won’t happen again for many years.

Bring your family, friends, and cameras as we gather along the channel to celebrate this important milestone and show our support for preserving one of America’s most iconic World War II submarines for future generations.

Please note: The departure is weather and lake condition dependent, and the schedule may change if conditions are not favorable. Follow the USS Silversides Museum’s social media channels and website for the latest updates and confirmation of the departure date and time.

Help us give Silversides the send-off she deserves, and be part of this historic moment! Donate towards Silversides’ preservation on our website: https://silversidesmuseum.org/dry-dock-uss-silversides/
