MILWAUKEE — Bidding closes at noon Tuesday for Milwaukee's stranded boat, known as "Deep Thought," which was beached for months near McKinley Beach.
Milwaukee County kicked off a 14-day public auction for the boat on July 22 in an effort to recover the remaining $20,000 in removal costs, which the county covered after $30,000 was donated.
