Fishtown is a collection of weathered fishing shanties, smokehouses, overhanging docks, fish tugs and charter boats along the Leland River in Leland, Michigan. The heart of a commercial fishing village, Fishtown is one of the only places where we can still see and feel a connection to the long tradition of Great Lakes maritime culture.

The next time you are in Fishtown, take a look at the trap net model on view within sight of the JOY. It was built by Brian Price, who worked for many years as a commercial fisherman on the JOY. To imagine the size of the net, scaled up it would be bigger end-to-end than Fishtown.
