Very old 32; boat

I think strongly that the boat Hans found is one of the double-ended Idlewild boats. Unfortunately, that pre-dates me a lot. I'll have to do some research.

The "Babs" was another Idlewild boat. That's the one that caught fire and was pushed out into the back cove. It lay in about 15' of water and was a real snorkeling attraction when camp was in session. Its remains were eventually raised and the prop, shafting, and engine were taken elsewhere. That was done after the camp closed. I'll also have to do some more research there also.
