Hull- Cedar. Frames- Oak. Decks- Cedar. Cabin- Fir, mahogany and yellow cedar. Cabin Configuration: Cabin approximately 5' x 7'. Flush deck forward, wheelhouse aft. Special Notes: Vessel was never registered. Monohedron hard chine laker, original engine. Original Baldridge transmission, working dash guages and Model-T steering wheel. Cabin windows slightly enlarged and sliding with a roof hatch added. (In 1990 this vessel was designated as a British Columbia Vintage Vessel by the Maritime Museum of British Columbia.) Doug Brown (Email to Nauticapedia 19/08/2022) stated "I am Doug Brown from Loveland Colorado. I have recently come into possession (or her in possession of me) of the 1924 laker 'Lady Marion', built by Eddie Aqualine. I got her from Tyler Rossman (Loveland CO), who bought her from a Mr. Jim Keesling of Denver CO. Do not know when or from who Mr. Keesling bought her. I am a restorer in the Loveland (Colorado) area, and belong to the Rocky Mountain Classics chapter of the ACBS. This vessel is in rough shape now, but have pulled the engine, what looks like a Model A, and will begin work on the bottom within the next couple months. I have a couple names of BC owners from the 1990s, and would really appreciate any help and pictures of her in as original condition as possible. I plan to have her on the water on her 100th birthday, and also plan to take her to the Gravenhurst, Ontario show the year after next. If there are any shows in the Powell River area, I would take her there also. This vessel should see home again. This is how this vessel looks now, but will have her in her former glory in a year or so."
