Lake Tahoe Steam Launch

Post by mkelleyp » Tue Aug 09, 2022 3:32 pm

Hello,

I am researching the history and possible whereabouts of a steam launch my uncle ran on Lake Tahoe in the 1960s. I believe the name was Carnelian. I have one picture of her docked in Lake Tahoe.

Any information would be most appreciated.

Regards,

Mike

Hi Mike,

That looks like it was taken in Tahoe city. Engine looks like maybe a navy B or G judging by the LP valve chest cover...

Unfortunately many of the folks up here that may have known that launch have passed relatively recently. I'll give a try at asking around.

Hi Wesley,

Thanks! I believe the boat was owned by Jordy Carlton III.


Looking forward to hearing what you find out!

Regards,

Mike
