Paukstis Theater
Rest and watch the story of the legendary Great Lakes shipwreck Alvin Clark.
Sometimes the best way to absorb history is to sit down, relax, and let a good story carry you. The Paukstis Theater at the Port of Ludington Maritime Museum offers exactly that — a comfortable screening room where visitors can enjoy a variety of short films on Great Lakes maritime topics, anchored by a 15-minute documentary on the legendary shipwreck Alvin Clark.
The Alvin Clark — a 19th-century Great Lakes schooner raised intact from the bottom of Green Bay in the 1960s — is one of the most remarkable shipwreck stories in American maritime history. The documentary brings that story to vivid life, complete with archival footage and expert accounts.
The theater is a perfect mid-visit rest stop for families and a genuinely compelling experience for history enthusiasts.
