Subject: Help requested - dug out canoe research project
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.
