Greetings,

We hope your preparations for the upcoming season have gone well, or are going well.

Mr. Ryan Smazal, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring in History and political science is partnering in a research project with the Maritime Preservation and Archaeology Program at the Society.

Ryan received a WISCIENCE Entering Research Summer Program scholarship to broaden his research experience in the STEM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). Ryan will be collecting information on and completing a comparative analysis of a sample of Wisconsin's dugout canoes. In additional to the documentation of each craft and the collection of archival information on the dugouts, he will create 3D photogrammatic and estimate differences in buoyancy characteristics and cargo capacity. Dugouts were one of the first watercraft to be guided across Wisconsin’s waterway and were still being made in the early twentieth century.

We are requesting your help.

Do you have:

-a dugout canoe in your collection?

-a partial dugout canoe in your collection?

-or information on a dugout canoe, or dugout canoes in the form of a newspaper articles, photographs, books, or models?

If you have any information that you think would be helpful, please contact me at contact me at john.broihahn@wisconsinhistory.org.

Your help is much appreciated.
