Swallow demise
The Swallow was in the water at Goodhue and Hawkins before slowly dry rotting to death on Blake Rd. in Moultonborough for years. Used to drive by on my way to work for Mr. Tower at the Woodshed when RJ would slow roast multiple sides of prime rib over the wood fire pit. Only job you didn't want was the garbage load on a hot summer day. Tup Goodhue said the wheelhouse was purchased and is now part of a restaurant somewhere in Connecticut. The boathouse sat open around 1970 when the cove was shallow, weedy and undeveloped.
P.S. Caught the biggest yellow perch off Swallow Point I've ever seen by dropping a worm to the bottom and picking it up about a foot. Oh well another fish story no cell phones back then and I certainly didn't want to eat it so back in he went.
