Hello folks
I am looking for any images of old red top and black top buoys.
Old 4x4 style wood the more damaged the better.
I am working on logo art for my business.
Thanks, with permission to crop just the buoy out of the image?
Mike

Old marker buoys were about 8"x8" center, 14' length, and tapered down to about 4"x4" at both ends. Made from a tree trunk, and weighing 300-lbs plus when soggy with just a small positive buoyancy.

There is a book called 'Moultonborough as I remember' by Frances Stevens that talks about how her father used to maintain the buoys and lights for the northern half of the lake. This was done with steamboats. While my boys were fishing around the old Lee's Mill landing they found pieces of the old dry cell batteries they used to use. They are somewhere in the camp at Hemlock Point Island near the Loon center.Her nephew Dave Thompson runs the steamboat meet each year

These are a few old ones I salvaged from Pawtuckaway but i suspect they are similar.

There is one sunk of the red marker off of Ahern Park in Winnisquam. Let me see if I can find a picture of it.
