And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I believe that is Ethyl Ruth which was named Chloe for a number of years. It belonged to my uncle Bob Henry who kept it in Hague on Lake George.
He used to take me out in it frm time to time over my mother's howls of protest.
Some olld footage of this and other fast boats owned by Henry's on lake George
Me and my father about 1:15, chloe/ethyl Ruth at about 1:35 when my uncle owned it there were no engine hovers because he had replaced the packard with a monster Allison aircraft engine.
You get a brief glimpse of the carburetors sticking up above the deck at about 3:00
His other gold cup hydro, Juno, was originally built by Ventnor as a suicide boat for the Chinese to use against the Japanese. It was a successful unlimited racer after the war. My uncle bought it in 55 or so
Doesn't look too good for trolling for fish. But the water sure looks good.

Exactly what is the point of that boat? It seems to be not very useful.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point of any pleasure craft ? Pleasure
DeleteSpeed is the point.
DeleteIt is a gold cup unlimited racing hydroplane.
DeleteThe point of the boat was to go really fast around the boueys and win races.
