Why You Should Grab The Offer

In the final days of WWII, the USS Cod pulled off a heroic rescue - the only sub-to-sub rescue ever recorded - saving a Dutch crew trapped on a reef. Today, you can step aboard this legendary Gato-class submarine in Cleveland’s North Coast Harbor, where it serves as a floating museum and testament to naval bravery. The Cod is packed with history, having sunk over 36,000 tons of enemy ships and carried 97 sailors alongside 24 torpedoes, each with 15,000 pounds of explosives. The submarine’s immersive self-guided tours give you the chance to touch history firsthand, from climbing through its narrow hatches to seeing its original combat equipment.

What makes the Cod even more special is its deep connection to Cleveland. The sub’s five diesel generators were produced right in the city and have been restored to full operation, showcasing the ingenuity of American engineering. Educational tours for schools make it a prime destination for young learners, and as a non-profit, this organization is dedicated to keeping history alive. Plus, with a new YouTube Channel offering virtual experiences and exclusive aerial views, the Cod’s rich history is accessible to everyone, no matter where you are. Whether you’re a history buff or just looking for a one-of-a-kind adventure, the USS Cod offers a unique chance to experience World War II history up close.
