Erie Canal begins at Waterford New York

Post by fredrosse » Tue Jul 10, 2012 3:51 am

10th annual Steamboat Meet at Waterford, 7 July 2012. Tugboats too. A very nice outing, with several steamers on the river and several streams to explore surrounding the canal locks. Many of the steamboats had spent the week traveling along the canal to get to this event. I used a trailer to get there, and had a good time anyway.

Looks like a pretty nice place to steam along. First boat looks like a hull from MOSQUITO Enterprises. Or at least a very similar one.
glad to see the sidewheeler in the water on such a fine day.
