Tuscania Memorial
The Tuscania was carrying American troops to Europe during World War One when it was torpedoed by a German U-boat. It sank within hours. Thanks to the bravery of the British Royal Navy and the compassion of a Scottish island community, over 1,800 American soldiers survived.
The long-overdue memorial to this event will be located at Lower Ochsner Park in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The National Tuscania Memorial will honor the hundreds of brave American doughboys, rescuers, and survivors of the Tuscania disaster. The bronze relief memorial will be unveiled at 10:00am on Saturday, November 10, 2018, a century after the end of World War One. The Tuscania Memorial unveiling in Baraboo will also coincide with the national World War One memorial unveiling in Washington, D.C.
