With this issue, we continue our record of the vessels laid up for the winter at the various lake ports. As usual, we do not include scows, tugs, local ferries, dredges, etc., except under unusual circumstances.

We gratefully acknowledge the efforts of Rene Beauchamp, Duff Brace, David Bull, Frank Bunker, Perry Haughton, George Lee, Bob MacDonald, Vince Sadler, Laurence Scott, Alan Sweigert, and Andy Sykora in the preparation of this instalment of lay-up listings.

To those who did not respond to our request for information, and whose own ports are either not represented at all or else with an incomplete list, we can only say that we would be happy to change places with them for a month so that they might see the amount of work necessary to find and prepare items which we think will be interesting to our readers. We do not produce "Scanner" simply for our members' entertainment, but also for their edification and for the preservation of the historical record of the years passing before us. We expect that each member who is able and who has access to such information will contribute his or her bit to the effort. Surely that is not asking too much...
