The Solomon Juneau
Aug. 14th, 2013 11:46 pmOur monthly CoPA Schmooze (photography meeting) was aboard a boat, last night. It was The Solomon Juneau. This boat was built in 1903, and raised from the lake 33 years ago, by its present owner. He's a member of our group, so he invited us aboard for a picnic. It was a good photographic opportunity, as well.
This is Mark, the owner.
I didn't ask him what work he had done on it after raising it, or how long it had been down there, but I'm guessing the metal and glass are original, and nothing else. So he almost built it from scratch. He's getting old (he says), and it's too much work for him to take it out, anymore. He used to take it out on the lake. I remember seeing it in Port Washington, once.
I didn't get any pictures of the outside of the boat, but you can see various photos of it here (click over to images, or read some articles).
