Steamboat history began on Moosehead Lake in 1836.
As many as 50 boats once steamed up the lake carrying passengers, livestock, mail, supplies and equipment.
Steamboats were the only means of transportation to the large resorts, like Mount Kineo, as well as the small hunting camps and villages around the lake.
By the late 1930s, with the development of roads around Moosehead, only the Katahdin remained.
Used as a towboat to haul booms (rafts) of logs until 1975, she participated in the nation's last log drive.
