Wisconsin's Maritime Trails
www.maritimetrails.org
![GLIN Site of the Month]() The Maritime Preservation and
Archaeology Program of the Wisconsin Historical Society investigates
and publicizes Wisconsin's rich maritime history. Centuries of
exploration, travel, commerce, and recreation on the Great Lakes
have left an impressive trail of maritime cultural resources along
Wisconsin's Great Lakes shorelines and bottomlands. To foster wider
public appreciation of the state's rich maritime past and encourage
preservation of unique historic sites such as shipwrecks,
lighthouses and historic waterfronts, the Wisconsin Historical
Society established the Maritime Trails program.
