CAMDEN — Penobscot Marine Museum Education Director Jeana Ganskop will visit the Camden Public Library on Tuesday, April 30, to present about 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 will take place on Tuesday, April 30, at 6:30 p.m., and completes the Camden Public Library's 2024 Maritime Month series.

This is a hybrid event and will take place in person in the Picker Room at Camden Public Library as well as on Zoom. Find the Zoom registration link to attend virtually at librarycamden.org, or visit https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uTpclQDFRfKxdu3GUxifJA
