[tinpan]

hi all, Spotted some sort of clean up happening behind the 1860 gas works just across from the local lake.i found this iron-clad paddle boat that was used long ago to keep the weed down in the canoe lanes.Must have belonged to the local rowing club.I think they may have brought it off the union army ,after the Civil War
lol Bet buckle and iron boys like it.
