Chicago's U-Boat to go Back on Display

A highlight of any visit to Chicago is a trip to the Museum of Science & Industry. For years one of the prime exhibits was the U-505, a genuine German U-Boat that was captured by a U.S. escort carrier group in 1944. For many months, the U-505 has been off display while it has been refurbished and while a new underground display area was constructed. Work is now almost complete, and the U-505 is set to go back on display June 5, 2005. Below is a link to a preview of the exhibit.
