Well the Uncle Sam II was a PT boat that was converted to a personal yacht/cruiser. Somehow it found it's way to Lakeport to become the Uncle Sam II replacing the Uncle Sam that served for many years to the Islands of Winnipesaukee, East Bear, Birch, Sandy, Jolly and a few others.
It only served as a mailboat for a short period of time (1966-68), there was some management or financial issues that ended her service,and then the Sophie C became the mailboat from Weirs and has served her duty well.
I have more detailed info on this and will research for the forum.
