Steamboat RANGELEY

Steamboat RANGELEY

The 185 ft. steamer RANGELY was owned by the Maine Central Railroad and was part of the railroad's "Bar Harbor Navy". Her route was from Rockland, where rail passangers came from Boston, to Bar Harbor. She was built in 1913 at Bath Iron Works in Maine. In 1924 the route was losing money and the railroad sold the boat to the Hudson River Lines in New York and her name became CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW. In 1977 she became "Aratusa's Supper Club", a floating restaurant and bar in the Hackansack River, New Jersey. In 1991 she was scrapped in New Jersey.
