There were years when the antique boat races were Saturday and Sunday and I remember there were a group of the steam boats made a voyage to Wolfeboro. That was a sight to see and hear!! I'd have to look back in my picture collect to see if I have pic of this, I don't think that I do. I think that it was before I had a camera that could handle taking pics of the boats going fast.
