The Steamboat "Scutanawbequon"
| View across water towards the "Scutanawbequon," owned by Francis (Frank) Barnes, launched on April 17, 1866, with seven people aboard. "She was 50 feet long with a 11.5 foot beam, weighed 15 tons, and carried 80 people. The 'Scut' was made at Whitewater, Wisconsin. Barnes purchased Squaw Point, known today as Winnequah Point, on Lake Monona across from the city of Madison. This resort was a favorite place for a good many summers, being used for picnics, dancing, bowling, and boating, and famous Chatauquas." The far shoreline is in the background. |
