The Michigan Maritime Museum presents: The Role of Watercraft and Waterways in the North American Fur Trade. Featuring speaker: Dr. Michael Nassaney, Professor, Department of Anthropology, Western Michigan University.
Watercraft and waterways were essential for the North American fur trade, a transcontinental system of exchange that involved dozens of trading companies, scores of native groups, hundreds of settlements, thousands of traders and millions of trade goods over four centuries, and nearly 10 million square miles. Archeology provides a unique vantage point to examine this global process.
