Historical Notes

George Schneider (July 2026) writes: She is a "Canal" style tour boat, with no capacity for outside viewing, but was probably considered appropriate for the Milwaukee trade where the river to open waters and skyline viewing normally would require the opening of a number of downtown bridges.
