Shenandoah

The 65-foot purse seiner, built in 1925, Shenandoah, was donated to the Museum in 2000. The fishing vessel was owned by Tony Janovich, who donated it to the Museum shortly after his retirement. Currently, we are in the process of restoring the vessel. To follow the progress of the restoration click here.
