The Abe Lincoln is on the hard for repairs. We found it at the Washington Boat Yard. The repairs seem to be coming along well, perhaps you will see it on the river again in time for Tall Stacks. Do you have any stories about this boat that would be of interest?
ReplyDeleteI read that ABE LINCOLN actually built a houseboat himself, and floated it down to New Orleans to sell it. During an attempted "boatjacking", his partner in the vessel's construction was killed. He was left with a nasty visable scar to the side of his head, from one of the two black men, which he killed, as the other fled.
