I estimate its age at about a century old.
What surprised me is that on the bow it has the initials "H H" (oddly those are my initials). This is only the 2nd Winni wreck I have found with any identifying information on it. The other is the "WEONIT" in Lees Mills.
About 5 years ago I assembled a list into a spreadsheet of every known historic vessel I could find on Winni. Most are of course steamers but many pleasure vessels and some commercial vessels as well. I found no reference to any vessel with some or all of the letters "H H".
Can anyone help me run down the history of this boat with the initials HH?
Thanks.

H.H. Buffum built boats just after the turn of the century. If it's looks in that age range perhaps there is something there ?
