The James Norris made a rare appearance in Green Bay on Aug. 5, 2007 when it delivered a load of salt to the Fox River Dock.


This page is dedicated to the ships that have visited Green Bay. The photos start in the year 2000 and will be updated as I periodically get to Green Bay.


This photo gallery will be presented in alphabetical order by year.

On Friday Sept. 10 the French Cruise Ship "LeLevant" entered Green Bay and docked at K&K Warehouse (just up-river from the Walnut Street Bridge). The ship was on a Great Lakes cruise and was scheduled to go to Manitowoc, WI that day. However, the captain learned that Manitowoc lacked the newly instituted federally approved security plan, so the LeLevant had to find somewhere else to dock. Fortunately, K&K Warehouse in Green Bay received Coast Guard approval to allow the vessel to dock there. The passengers were bussed to Manitowoc for the day, and the ship left Friday night for Chicago.
