I'm not done searching this area for the Seneca.
In the past when I'm looking for one thing I find something else just as interesting, sometime more interesting.

Looking again at the photo of the
Propeller on The Lawn it looks to me like the hub "Bore" is covered...maybe by a washer and a
through bolt down to anchor the prop to the granite/cement base. If that's the case.... A "Look" at the prop will be inclusive..Can't SEE the Bore.
Based on my
Book Readings..I still think the Seneca was a side wheeler..not propeller driven. THIS Prop is from another boat.
BTW: Screw driven steamers were in existence at least as early as the Cival War. Monitor..Merrimac..etc
