Compare the verticality of Evelyn Mae’s “windshield” in the photo below with the rake in the next photos. The photo was taken in April 1946.
The interior photo below shows the helm and the modified “raked” windshield.
Here Evelyn Mae gets some emergency work done at the floating dry dock at Matton’s in Cohoes in July 1947.
In 1959 Evelyn Mae made a trip to the Champlain Canal.
Here’s a closeup of the whole crew.
During that trip, she went up on the marine railway at Velez Marina in Port Henry.
Steve continues with his narrative: “Circe was a sister boat to Evelyn Mae. She is up on beach in Mill Basin Brooklyn after hurricane of Sept 1944. I was told by my uncle that these pics were taken after hurricane of 1946 or 1947, but apparently no hurricane hit NY in those years as per internet.”

Beautiful old wooden cruisers! Love to have one today, despite all the high maintenance involved with the breed. I sure hope poor old Circe survived that beaching without her hull being stove in, and that she was blessed with many more years of happy boating to give her owners.
