Cipperly Good & Kevin Johnson
Visit the maritime communities affected by the boom and bust of Maine’s Sardine Industry and Herring Fishery. We have gathered stories from those who worked in canneries, fished for herring, and continue to live and work in these coastal communities. Sardineland tells their stories alongside photographs and tools of the trade to explore the industry’s ongoing impact on those who handled the herring—from the net to the can. penobscotmarinemuseum.org/sardineland
