Abstract

Excerpt from Introduction: The Wisconsin Historical Society’s Lake Michigan grain schooner survey was a joint effort between the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS), University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute, Wisconsin Coastal Management Program, Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Wisconsin Maritime Museum, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee’s Great Lakes WATER Institute, Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association (WUAA), and the Great Lakes Shipwreck Research Foundation, Inc. (GLSRF). The surveys were funded by grants from the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute, Wisconsin Coastal Management Program, and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Additional equipment, personnel, and logistical support were supplied by other participating organizations. The surveys were organized by the WHS’s State Maritime Preservation and Archaeology (SMPA) program staff and principally staffed by WUAA, GLSRF, and WHS volunteers. Survey work was conducted between 6 June 2003 and 5 August 2005.
