The Swallow Boathouse

fltsimguy · 08-06-2020, 11:42 AM

Came across this video on youtube yesterday which I found fascinating. It's a little history on the boathouse at Windward Harbor which used to house the steamship Swallow, and shows some "rails" which are underwater near it.

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?
