Greg,
Nobody seems to know much about that boiler here. They pulled it off the bottom of Lake Minnetonka when they raised the Minnehaha up. It's just sitting in the dust in the Minnehaha wintering shed...

Re: The Minnehaha (In Storage)
Dear Mike
If you have any influence with the guys that found the boiler, don't let even let them think of junking it!
If it is so close to the UK Steamboat Museum boats boilers as Greg suggest (he knows his kit!), then you have an artefact with an interesting history to uncover. I suspect that, scanned, repaired as appropriate and probably re-tubed, you would also have an excellent launch boiler.
Regards
Pete
