I spent my summers at Alton Bay starting in 1952, and I remember the Tonimar very well. She left early and returned late. Occaisionly we would get to see the former steam yacht Swallow on a trip "down the bay".
Mcdude, thank you for your superb articles about the lake and the early railroads. I think that I can date your Canopache Lodge postcard to 1959 or therabouts. The boat tied to the pier looks like a Thomphson of that era, and the outboard motor on it is an Evinrude, or Johnson 50 hp, v-4, which came out in 1959.
