Grandpa's 1930's cabin cruiser was stored there every winter.
Grandpa after WWII had purchased a used lobster boat.
The brand was BALTZER.
Constructed in Newburyport - I think.
A flat head 6 cylinder engine. Chrysler if memory is correct.
During one of the hurricanes of the mid-late 1950's - grandpa came up to lake and beached the bow and held onto it during the entire hurricane.
I vaguely recall the neighbors boats (all wooden) - smashed up on shore.
But Grandpa's boat was intact.
After Grandpa's passing the boat went through a few family members and was ultimately sold to someone on Cape Cod who was going to restore it.
Then the trail ends.
