Wreck of the Jennie and Annie washes up on Sleeping Bear Point
About a week ago now I came across this photo by Mark Lindsay. I asked former Park Ranger Bill Herd, and he told me what has since come out in the media. Sleeping Bear Dunes historians believe the schooner fragment, estimated to be about 40-feet long and peppered with twisted metals spikes, is part of the shipÕs bilge keelsons, which the Oxford Handbook of Maritime Archeology says were long timbers running most of the shipÕs length, strengthening the keel.   read more »

Barns of Leelanau Township

Filed under: calendar,farms,history,homes,Leelanau,photo — Andrew McFarlane @ 10:09 am

Sharon McMachen Kalchik will speak about the barns of Leelanau Township at 7 PM next Thursday (Sep 25) at the Trinity Church of The United Church of Christ in Northport (103 N Warren Street).

Her talk is sponsored by the Northport Area Heritage Association and based on the photos she took in 2005 when she set out to photograph Leelanau Township's remaining barns. She'll have two large albums of barn photos to browse through as well as some matted barn photos on display. She's also planning to show a DVD she made with Northport resident Kelli Charter featuring lots of color photos of the area.=.

The photo is Leelanau by jeff lamb, who has a ton more great photos of Leelanau barns.
