Wanna buy a Bumboat?

Here is an amazing relic from the past. They called them "bumboats". There used to be dozens of bumboats on the Great Lakes, which would tie along side visiting ships and sell provisions to the sailors. This was the last operating one in North America and now it is up for sale. You can see the specs and additional photos here: Workboat 1
