In 1847 THE CITIZEN was the first ship to be constructed in Manitowoc. Captian Joseph Edwards built the 60-ton schooner at a cost of $3,000 right in the city's harbor. The ship carried lumber to other ports on Lake Michigan before going down in a storm in 1857.

My GGGrandfather moved from Canada to this area about 1845 and was listed as a ships carpenter. Also, was there a list of persons that had signed the Declaration to become a citizen?
