Olive Jeanette, Historic boat in Lutcher, Louisiana
The Olive Jeanette, a twenty-four foot cypress vessel built in 1926, features an eight-foot beam and a straight stem construction with curved ribs.
The boat transported lumber during operations at Lutcher and Moore Cypress Lumber Company until 1930, when it shifted to carrying trappers and furs through the swamps.
The vessel represents the evolution of Louisiana's industries, from cypress logging to fur trapping, reflecting the economic transitions of the early twentieth century.
Located at the intersection of Highway 641 and Highway 3193 in Lutcher, the boat sits in the town square, making it easily accessible to visitors.
The vessel retains its original Red Wing Model B gasoline engine on the cockpit floor, connected to a replacement propeller through the initial propeller shaft.
