Also at Camp Kehonka (Wolfeboro) 1941

The only steam-propelled public yacht on Winnipesaukee. Capt. Nat Goodhue, Owner. Charter Trips by Appointment. No date.

Water Carnival at the Weirs

The Swallow Boathouse (aka Windward Harbor boathouse) is on the National Registry of Historic Places. Just beautiful!

Swallows Nest, was the 1900 home of the steam yacht Swallow. It was originally part of the old Kona Mansion and is still looking beautiful today."
