Full article about the lake Mailboats here.

and don't forget the TONIMAR which must have operated the route in between the Columbia and the Gray Ghost.

The Columbia was built by George Lawley and was first used on the Atlantic Ocean. The 70 foot, coal-burning steamer, with a fantail stern and glassed in rear deack for passengers, was brought to Lake Winnipesaukee and at one time was used as a mail and excursion boat out of Wolfeboro. Among her captains and owners was Oscar D. York, by which time the fantail stern had been replaced by a transom. Each winter she was stored by Goodhue and Hawkins on Sewall Road. The Granite State news, July 15, 1911, noted; "The new mailboat arrived on Monday. It is to be run by Oscar York." It succeeded the Chocorua, which had burned in 1910. The Columbia was still operative in the 1930s as a private vessel, still owned by Oscar.
