About the Annual Lee’s Mills Steamboat Rally
From the Sunset Bob Gallery
Each September the town of Moultonborough sponsors the largest and longest meet in the world for steam launches. It lasts for about ten days.
On the first Sunday of the rally, a steamboat parade goes out into Moultonborough Bay.

On the second Sunday of the meet, the parade goes into Green's Basin.
Usually the rally showcases 55 to 60 operating steamboats with several steam models on display.
It truly is a very unique, interesting and educational event. I highly recommend it.
You can really tell that the owners are very proud of their vessels and seem to enjoy sharing their hobby with the spectators
