Nobska — a vessel built in 1925 at Bath Iron Works. The ves- sel is possibly the only and defi- nitely one of few pure 19th and 20th century American coastal steamboats left. Fully restored, and under steam, Nobska will pre- sent passengers with the opportu- nity to experience the steamship travel of past eras. In April 1996, the ship entered drydock at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston to begin the restorative process, and to date, 10,000 hours of preservation and stabilization work has been performed, and $300,000 worth of steam equip- ment has been acquired.
