While the low bridges still stand, Captain John Connor was deter mined to start a tour business that would takf advantage of the Charles River's recent reclama- tion from polluted obscurity. Faced with shoal draft, low bridges and a need for wheelchair acces- sibility, Totem Pole Tours contracted with Winninghoff Boats to design and build a custom welded aluminum tour boat. Delivered this past summer, the 30-foot long passenger boat has a 9- foot beam. The vessel can carry 30 passengers and features a bow door/ramp for wheelchair access and a hydraulically-controlled roof to clear the low bridges.
