On this day in 1954,the U-505 Submarine arrived on the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago after a 3,000-mile tugboat ride.It faced just one more trip to reach it's new home @the Museum of Science & Industry,cross Lake Shore Drive.
Engineers designed an elaborate rail and roller system,and LSD was closed to allow it to cross.This trip alone took 1 week to complete.
