Somewhere in my family's folklore of The Lake, we always thought a sailboat was in the boathouse at one point (given the height of the doors), and there was a connection to the Kona Mansion. Does anyone recall a connection to either a sailboat or Kona?
Also, does anyone know if there are pictures of the Swallow in or around the Boathouse? |
Three years ago I purchased my current boat from a guy whose family owns the boat house. I believe it's currently in a trust. Before we left with the boat he gave me a tour inside. Very impressive to see the Captain's and crews quarters as well as the coal bins. It has been used more recently for weddings and unfortunately for the wake/funeral of the owners brother. I think I have some photos taken inside. If I find them, I'll post them.
