Picture of the Seneca
Finally.
Today I was speaking a the Lake Winni Historical Society & Museum on the hill near FunSpot. At the end of my presentation I detailed 2 things I continue to look for and asked for help as I always do-the Seneca being one of them. The other is more info on the air-dropable life boats in the lake.
A man comes up to me afterwards and says there's a picture of the Seneca on the wall in the other room. Sure enough-a real beauty too. David Lawton removed it, went to his office and made a copy for me. Over the years I've gone thru the Museum periodically checking out new and old stuff. I never saw this before but am very pleased this man mentioned after hearing my comment.
That said she is clearly a side-wheel steamer. Using a ruler I measured the wheel house height and estimated the height of a man inside piloting it.
Using that as a base reference I estimated the length of the Seneca at "about" 156 feet.
The search continues.
