The last one left was the Steamboat Katahdin, which had started ferrying passengers in 1915 and which closed out the US logging era in the nation"s last log drive in 1975, helping to transport timber down the Kennebec River off Moosehead Lake. "The Kate", as she"s affectionately known, was initially destined to be scuttled too, until a group of local citizens organised to have her donated to Moosehead Marine Museum, where she was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and now offers a variety of public cruises daily from late June to mid-October.
