The group lives on, as the board of directors has met several times a year since the last annual three-day event took place. Over the years a large Maritime museum was creat- ed and is still in place at the Civic Auditorium. Beginning in the com- ing summer, many of those artifacts will be on loan to the Devils Lake Historical Society, to be viewed in the old downtown Post Office museum on a rotating basis.
