The Jubilee is a forty-one foot sternwheeler, driven by a gas engine. For more technical information, see the listing at the American Sternwheel Assocation. The Jubilee capsized in June 2008 after catching a seventy mph wind in the middle of the lake. The twenty-five passengers on board clung to the boat for five or ten minutes before they were picked up and rescued by neighboring boats. Owner Julian Scott Morris brought the boat upright and out of the water the next day in the matter of an hour. The boat is now fully operational as Connecticut's only sternwheeler. No tour groups until further notice. Photo by Jeff Wignall.
