Speaker: Sardine Carriers with Jon Johansen
May 8 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
$5
For years the sardine industry was a major enterprise and what many remember were the sardine carriers plying the coast bringing the catch to market. The early boats evolved into the impressive carriers of the late 1940s. Penobscot Marine Museum board president Jon Johansen will discuss the design changes. He’ll also share a number of the more noted carriers and where they are today. Register here to receive a reminder email.
Free, Suggested admission $5
