When she was determined to be unseaworthy, she was set afire at Grand haven, MI and pushed out into Lake Michigan in an offshore breeze, only to return washed up at shore 3 days later. Her hull was then used three more years commercially as a barge. Part of the remains of the Porcupine are still detectable with a fish finder by the Spring Lake bridge near where Johnston Boilers used to be in about 12-15 foot of water. For a time after her sinking parts of her stuck out of the water and in the winter people ice skated around her. In 1913 sections of her were raised and sent on to Detroit for a museum exhibit for the War of 1812 Centennial museum exhibit. One local lady took some of her wood and made souvenir pen holders.

In reply to soulsalt. Thank you for your comment. BMC believes in engaging education that both teaches and stimulates. We believe in pursuing the unknown and trying things you have never done before. With our new program, we hope to help students realize the possibilities that are out there for them and help them reach their goals. The Ted Talks of Ken Robinson are wonderful. Thank you for the recommendation.

really, a lot depends on our education: what we are doing at school, what teachers and others are saying to us. usually, a lot of students refuse from their dreams and something they really want because no one supports them and it does not have any sense in adult life. because it is not profitable nowadays. we should do something at we bad, we should know a lot of rules and sciences. but, in fact, we even cant talk. and it is silly. we are trying to change our world, want to be leaders of galaxy. but we dont see that we should start from the beggining. the speech of Ken Robinson is brilliant. thanks to him.
