Lee's Mill Steamboat Rally

[marinewife]

We got there this morning and it was so much fun, took a left after Buckey's Tavern, drove past The Woodshed and parked, there were a lot of boats and people enjoying the morning-

next year will be the 50th year if you miss it this weekend~

If a boating (in general) enthusiast wanted to have an interesting day, you could stop in at Lee's Mills and see the steamboats, see the piles of wood for fuel, and listen to the steam whistles; and, then, drive to Wolfeboro town docks to see the classic race boats, see the containers of hi (extra hi) octane fuel, and listen to the scream of the super-powered engines. This day would provide you with a year's worth of pictures and stories.

There were years when the antique boat races were Saturday and Sunday and I remember there were a group of the steam boats made a voyage to Wolfeboro. That was a sight to see and hear!! I'd have to look back in my picture collect to see if I have pic of this, I don't think that I do. I think that it was before I had a camera that could handle taking pics of the boats going fast.
