I don't have my own copy of Edward Blackstone's book and have been wanting to get down to the library to look through it. Wonder if you could check out something for me in your copy? I recall there is a mention of a Capt. Sanborn, who piloted the Lady of the Lake and also the Dover. This was sometime in he 1850's -60's, I believe. Could you see if his first name is mentioned and whether there is other information about him? I am wondering if he was the father of Capt. Charles H. Sanborn (born 1874 - died 1967), who was pilot of the Mt. Washington in the 1920's - 1940's? Charles worked on steamboats in various capacities for 75 years, beginning as a boy, but don't know whether his father worked on the lake, as well.

Thanks.
