Info sent along by Dave W: "The name of that steamboat is River Queen. It was built in the late 1940s (?) by Richard Mitchell late of Hinsdale, NH. He is considered one of the pioneers of modern steamboating. He steamed on the Connecticut River. Boat was sold to Vinnie Callaghan who founded Channel Marine in Weirs. He renamed the boat Barbara C after his wife. Boat was sold to couple in Gilmanton and they returned the River Queen name and added the canopy."
