Minnehaha Video Tour

I made this for my friends who do not have the chance to see this boat because either they're afraid or in a different country.

It was Built in 1906, part of the Street Car Line that ran in Minneapolis, MN.
They are called "Street Car Boats", because they took people where the Street Cars left off. There were 6 boats, all named for the route they took people on. These boats also brought people to the world famous "Big Island" on Lake Minnetonka! But, in 1926, there was a big boom in the automotive industry and Cars put these boats out of business.. 2 of these boats were used for parts and tug boats, and 4 of them were scuttled on the northern side of Big Island. One was even used as a restaurant diner for a while. But, in 1980 one of these boats were found and taken off of the bottom of the Lake. And by May 25th, 1996 the boat was fully restored and ready to go on the lake!

I am a full purser, and a Engineer in training and i love that boat so much!
