Houseboat "Beaver Queen"

Post by South Shore »

I am wondering of the fate for house boat "Beaver Queen" In the 80's she was owned by the Vertican family and was moored right in front of the Gallagher house just south of Gillespie's dock. I recall seeing her around somewhere on land on a recent visit. Would like contact information of her owner, as I would be interested in seeing if she be for sale!

Many Thanks,
Cpt. Sean Whelan

Last I knew Donald Cole owned it, you can look up his number on the web.

Thanks Rich,

Any clue if she's been in the water recently?

Thanks for the heads up!

Hi Sean - Don is still on the island, and when I was up there last month, I mentioned your interest in the Beaver Queen. He said he wasn't quite ready to part with it as he was hoping to put it in the water next summer and make some memories with the grandkids. He can be hard to get ahold of as he and his new bride go back and forth between their "city house" and "country house." His # is still 2310, while hers is 2002. Hope this helps ~ Shirley

Shirley,

Many thanks for the information. I greatly appreciate it! Glad to know she is still being put to good use, but do let Don know that when he's ready, he has a buyer! Extend Christmas greetings to him, and of course to you as well!

Best wishes,
Sean
