Re: Desmond Landing Purchased by Indian Tribe
Will any of this include Great Lakes history, and its ships? Will the Maritme Center exist, or is this the end of it? Will there be any type of a Great Lakes museum included in these projects? What will happen to the extensive and historic maritime collection of Peter J. Van der Linden owned by Acheson Ventures?

Desmond Landing Purchased by Indian Tribe
This just appeared in the Port Huron Times-Herald, and it appears that the property purchased includes the Great Lakes Maritime Center, which houses Boatnerd Headquarters.

"No Conflict Seen
The waterfront property known as Desmond Landing has some plans taking shape, but officials said whatever Bay Mills has planned would not be a problem.
Acheson Ventures has offered to give the foundation a strip of land along Desmond Landing as well as five acres which include the Great Lakes Maritime Center. Maiers said the deed for the river walk property will change hands after a design is finalized in the next few weeks. The river walk is estimated to cost about $1.3 million.
Maiers said he didn't know what Bay Mills has planned for the property and is looking forward to finding out.
He said a casino and river walk would complement one another.
Brown said plans for an aquarium attraction also wouldn't be disturbed.
"It will have an impact because they may be occupying the same site, but the aquarium would very much be a part of whatever goes down there," he said.
In the spring, the City Council approved a one-year contract to develop an aquarium with Marinescape Ecoaquariums. The city agreed to pay the New Zealand company $100,000 to complete a feasibility study."
