Largest Steamboat Gathering in The World, and we Got invited for a Ride.

The Lee's Mills Steamboat Meet in Moultonborough, New Hampshire, is recognized as the largest and longest-running annual steamboat gathering in the United States and the world. • The Fleet: The meet features over 50 steam-powered vessels. These range from meticulously restored century-old antiques to custom, home-built launches crafted by modern-day hobbyists and engineers. • The Operation: Unlike modern reproductions, these are true steamboats. The majority are coal- or wood-fired, using genuine high-pressure boiler systems to turn their propellers. • Public Viewing: While the event focuses heavily on operator camaraderie rather than competition, visitors gather at the Lee's Mills docks and along the shore to watch the popular Steamboat Parades held on the event's two Sundays.
