Alaina Noland has joined the Conservancy as our Preservation and Outreach Intern. Alaina came to museum work as a second career after working professionally in the equine industry for over a decade. Her work in museums started as an educator and her path into museum ships happened completely by accident. Since then, she has fallen in love with museum ships because she believes “they are excellent platforms from which history, engineering, and art can be discussed with the public.”
