The Moccasin

This is a photo of a boat that was owned and operated by the Altenkirk family in Shinnecock Bay. I believe it's from the early 50's.

Check out their fishing attire Smile

How about a pic of the Sea Queen III? My grandfather, Fred Schmahl, owned her and ran her out of City Island back in the 50's and 60's but during the 70's , she sailed out of the East River at 23rd st. She was an old sub chaser built in about 1917 or so. Rolled like a SOB with that narrow beam but boy did he catch fish. Looked alot like the old Bronx Queen, a big 110' with an on-deck pilot house. Lots of great memories of that boat as a kid.

Capt. Scotty 3

What a great looking boat. I never fished her, but she looks like a good boat to be out in some "weather' in. Does anyone know what she has for power?

Ranger VII

I was caught in a hard Nor'Wester coming home from offshore on her when she was the White Star IV. It was a pleasure to be aboard her in that huge head sea.

The SCOTTYand the WHITE STAR

The Scotty was a GREAT head sea boat but man could she do some rolling. She hadGM 12v71N's but Frankie Blount may have repowered her. I was in a little nasty-ness on the White Star(now Speedo's boat)She is a friggin monster of a sea boat. Here is how she looks now(Speedy is known for making his boats SPOTLESS)

Scotty III

She really is pretty much un-beatable with seas in her face but put her in the beam and oh boy, many a coffee pot have been launched into orbit when she got to rockin and rollin. Here is a shot of another one of my favorite Gillikin built boats

No matter how good she looks,
