Wild Goose 40' Hutchinson Boat Works Launch
Powered by: Chrysler V8 Donor: Cleveland E. Dodge & Joan Dodge Rueckert
If Wild Goose has a familiar silhouette, it may be because she has been an ambassador for the Antique Boat Museum as the boat in the ABM logo for over 30 years. She was built by the Hutchinson Brothers boatyard in Alexandria Bay, NY in 1915 as a high-speed launch for island commuting. Her original owner, Frederick Lovejoy, named her Onondaga III and used her to ferry passengers to and from his home in Westminster Park on Wellesley Island. In 1928 the boat was purchased by Cleveland E. Dodge of Grindstone Island and Wild Goose Island and renamed Wild Goose. For over seventy years she served as a family launch for the Dodge family, who loved and carefully maintained the boat throughout its life.
