There's an all-wood, 20-something foot boat out on the lake, pretty often, which supposedly belonged to Henry Ford. Supposedly, he commuted from Dearborn to Detroit on the Rouge River with it in the 1930's. It is green and stained wood with a pointed bow and stern. Supposedly, it has a 12 cyclinder straight engine.

Considering it belonged to Henry Ford, it must have been quite the boat for its time.

Could be it belonged to Henry Ford's son.... which would make it a Fordson.....?
