When Boats Collide

 August 22, 1906, Menasha Record

 August 25, 1906, Neenah Times

Back before car crashes led the headlines on television news, boat accidents took center stage, that is, when there weren't lurid accounts of train fatalities or buggy disasters.  Because of the the damages to the Thistle, the boat passengers had to spend some unforeseen time in our fair city, with some making other arrangements to get to their final destination.  Let's hope the folks in Menasha made their unexpected stay an enjoyable one.
