August 1, 1966, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern
I would have thought, with being on the Fox and the adjacent Lake Winnebago, Menasha would have had its own "official" boat long before the date of this photo, but perhaps not. As a boy, I recall seeing the boat on the river and thought it was pretty neat, but then, it might have just arrived, per the caption above. I would have been 9 years old in '66, so maybe this event is what kicked off my interest in the boat.
Any buddy know what ever happened to this duck boat?
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing g the boat while visiting relatives. Thanks for keeping the history of Menasha alive. Read your book the other day and I hope a sequel is being planned. No time is too soon. Thanks,
