Echo Jr

26’ speedboat of wood made by Mr. Fisher of Echo Point in 1946. It is a custom racing boat. Two Echo’s were made. This is the second. It has an Allison 12 cylinder aircraft engine. It sank on the trial run. It caught fire off the point of Loon Cove. In danger of catching the forest on fire, other boats created wave action to prevent the boat from being pushed on shore by the wind. It eventually sank in the channel after burning to the water line.

Brad, I'm glad to hear you and Grant got to the 85' Ship Island wreck on a nice day.
