Leland Fishtown
Leland Historic Fishtown, Leland, Michigan. According to Wikipedia, the historic area was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1973 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. An old shot I recently found and processed in Lightroom.
From the Leland County website:
"Along the Leland River, as it feeds into Lake Michigan, is Leland's Historic Fishtown – one of the last working and thriving fishing districts on the Great Lakes. Native Americans first lived and fished from this site, with European settlers arriving in the 1850s and creating the current fishing village. Fishtown was, and is still, comprised of weathered fishing shanties, smokehouses, overhanging docks lined with fish tugs, charter fishing boats, and the Manitou Island Transit ferry. Today, many of the shanties are home to small, local businesses. Each year, thousands of visitors enjoy and appreciate the shanties, fish tugs and docks, that remain a crucial part of Lake Michigan’s fishing heritage."
