Small steel hulled vessels
Hi All,
Over the years I've found 4 steel hulled vessels in Winnipesaukee: Saunders Bay, Center Harbor Bay, East side of Long Island and one in Melvin Bay. Experience tells me they were likely steamers but not necessarily-possibly gas powered. What makes them interesting are 2 things: they're made of steel and they are short-none of them are more than maybe 18 feet long max.. I was thinking they might have been used to herd logs during a drive because they are steel and the risk of a log punching through the hull "should" be less than a wooden vessel. And due to their short length they could easily weave in and out of a field of logs given the right conditions. Losing logs meant losing money. Because their hulls were deteriorated but certainly not gone and were found before I bought my GoPro, I don't have any pictures or videos. I should probably re-visit all of them of take some. I like posting questions like this to the Forum because people have resources and information etc. I don't have and to me things like this are a bit of a puzzle we can piece together to see if something useful comes out of it. They really are unique amongst all the wrecks I've found in Winni. Any help appreciated. HH |
