A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

While I attended the bluegrass festival this past weekend I took a side trip to Clayton, NY to visit the Antique Boat Museum.

(http://www.abm.org)

This is the main entrance building...



A large collection of antique boats of all styles is housed there...





picture the gentleman rowing and the lady relaxing in the wicker chair in the stern!



In 1986 I was fishing on Lake Placid in the Adirondacks and there were a lot of antique boats particpating in a regatta there. I took a picture of the "Snail"... and here it was!



The La Duchesse is a huge houseboat from the "gilded age"... (http://www.abm.org/laduchesse.asp) check it out!



the master stateroom...



the piano on upper deck,..those windows raised up and fastened by chains to the dancehall ceiling so the piano music could be used for dancing!



the dancehall on the upper deck...
