A couple of weeks ago I bought a paper back book from the gift shop on board the Mount Washington, entitled "Steamboats in Motion" by Bruce D. Heald. (1984) 104 pages.

On page 53 at the top, it says Maid Of The Isles (ex Gazelle) @ 96 feet, (1877) was the Second screw steamer on the lake. The Nellie @ 30 feet, (1872) was the First.. I saw the Nellie this past weekend in the boat shed at Mystic Seaport.

The Mineola was also built in 1877 and is mentioned in this book as "one of" the first screw steamers on the lake. On page 29 there is a picture of the steam engine from the Mineola.

This little book is well worth the extravagant price of $4.
