Cedar Net FloatsEntry/Object ID
2026.33.1Description
Two handmade cedar net floats. These were used to float and mark the location of nets for commercial fishing. They are approximately 21" long and have a still ring on the end to connect to the nets. They are painted a orange color. These were given to Chris Steinhagen (a volunteer of the museum) by Jon and Ann Knipfer to be used in the new fishing exhibit under construction. It is believed that these were used by fishermen in the 1930s and 1940s based in Algoma but often fished in the waters around Door County.Cataloged By
