Lee's Mills Steamboat Meet
The annual Lee’s Mills Steamboat Meet on Lake Winnipesaukee New Hampshire, which has 288 miles of shoreline. About 50 Steamboats were in attendance, ranging from Dave Thompson’s 38 foot yacht to a 9 ft-6 in Tug. The ten day event ended on 18 September this year. My first visit, and a very good time for all.

Re: Lee's Mills Steamboat Meet
Great pictures. I especially like Dave Thompsons boat. That is a proper yacht ,Do you know what the specs are ,what kind of engine /boiler /Length at waterline/Beam/draft /how many of his kids he had to sell to build it I may have to try to make it there next year just to see all the great boats.
