Maritime Month: "Schooners and Maine's Logging Industry" with Jeana Ganskop, Penobscot Marine Museum

Penobscot Marine Museum Education Director Jeana Ganskop gives an introduction to the 19th-century logging industry in Maine and the schooners and other sailing vessels that transported Maine lumber along the coast and around the world. The talk will trace the close relationship between lumber and water, map the destinations of lumber from Maine, and share some stories of individual lumber schooners. This presentation will draw from PMM’s rich artifact, print, and photo collections. This talk took place on Tuesday, April 30, 2024 and completed that annual Maritime Month series at the Camden Public Library.
As education director at Penobscot Marine Museum, Jeana Ganskop is responsible for planning and implementing educational programs and activities from exhibit interactives to school field trips to special events. She has an M.A. in history museum studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program. After working at several museums in the Northeast and Midwest, she came to PMM in 2018. Jeana loves historical research and enjoys opportunities to find out more about MidCoast Maine!

Unusual there is so much wind, but none of the boats/ships have furled their sails.
