Default Tonimar Mail Boat

We at the Alton Historical Society had a program last year on the Tonimar that was done by Paul Richardson of Alton. He worked on the Tonimar with Capt Beck I believe in the early 1950's. The program was taped and is available to check out of the Alton library. Also, the Weirs Times had a great article on the history of the Tonimar in their January 13, 1994 issue by Linda C Largey based on information by the late Captain Beck of Alton Bay and from Florence Allsop of Bayhead, NJ, daughter of the original boat builder Hubert S Johnson, built in Bayhead, NJ, in 1926, a 43 footer.
