The building of a seawall has begun to help control the severe beach erosion at the Wieboldt-Rostone House along the Lake Michigan shoreline in Beverly Shores, Indiana. Last year’s mild winter and lack of shelf ice contributed to rising water levels. The Wieboldt-Rostone House was on exhibit during the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair and was brought over by barge to its permanent location. This historic home is located within the Indiana Dunes National Park and is owned by the National Park Service. —Paul Kemiel

Ranger and Cutwater Create Dinghy Lift for Outboard Boats
Have an outboard-powered boat but no place to store the dinghy? Ranger Tugs and Cutwater have created a patent-pending Dinghy Lift, available on the Ranger Tugs R-27 and Cutwater C-32, allowing cruisers to enjoy the popular benefits of outboard power, all while carrying a tender.
Made from powder-coated anodized aluminum and fitted with Weaver Snap Davit heads, the Dinghy Lift allows boaters to attach and board their tender while anchored or in the slip. The dinghy is then folded up to the aluminum frame and the entire hinged mechanism raises
up away from the outboard. The dinghy is stowed inverted above the outboard when running. A convenient cockpitmounted winch operates the Dinghy Lift mechanism. For more information, visit R ANGERTUGS.COM and CUTWATERBOATS.COM.
