9th Annual Antique Marine Engine Expo
Bucky Goldstein
August 19-20 at Mystic Seaport in Mystic, CT. I've never been
there for the show, but apparently they'll have just about
everything -- antique outboards, diesels, plenty of steam
engines. Some will be in standalone exhibits, many will be in
boats. There will be a boat parade both afternoons. Last year
there were about 80 exhibitors and over 200 engines.
The Seaport itself is lovely and a lot of fun. If you have a
family that doesn't care about antique engines, there's plenty
more to do there. They won't be bored.
Steam buffs can also cruise aboard Sabino. It's a lovely vessel
57 feet long, with the original engine in it. Boat and
engine were built in 1908. The engine is a 7&14x12" compound
about six feet tall. It's beautiful.
The show will be hosted by George King III, chief engineer of
Sabino. He knows his stuff and is a wonderful source of info for
anyone interested in steam.
You can get details by visiting
or for information specifically on the engine show, see
http://www.mysticseaport.org/events/events.html
I don't have their phone number handy, but it's on the web site
somewhere.

Hey Ed,
Write to George King III at Mystic Seaport. He would know. Very
knowledgable guy. Seems to me I read something in Wooden Boat
magazine a year or so ago about something in Portland, OR, but I can't
recall at all whether it was an annual or one time thing.
Not much closer to you, but there is a get together every year at
Kingston, Ontario.
Let me know if you do find anything out.
Good Luck

Ive been there just about every year, and will be back this year with
either my 18ft dory with 1908 single cylinder or my 17ft fantail
steamboat.
Good show, lots of fun, and lots to see.

What Brian said. King would probably know. If you go to
http://www.steamboating.com/wharfboat.html
you can find his email address.
But Mystic is a good side trip for any salt who gets to New England,
whether or not there's a show that weekend.

The dory. That's the one I wanna see.

in Victoria I think around labor day, and steam power is pretty well
represented. I'll try to get the details and post them.
