My recent trip to Seattle was mostly a chance to pack up the house, but we did have time to play a little. On Sunday morning we went with my Dad to the wooden boat center on Lake Union. We were lucky enough to get signed up for a steamboat ride on the Puffin.
The Puffin, built in 1906, is a 19' boat with a small steam engine that generates 5HP. With a total of six passengers including two to operate the boat we took a nice cruise around Lake Union taking turns piloting the boat and blowing the whistle. This was a great way to see a little of Lake Union and learn about steam engines.
