Blount Marine Delivers

Two Excursion Vessels

Blount Marine Corporation, Warren, R.I., has announced the delivery of two vessels—the 94- foot excursion vessel East Chop to Hyannis Har- bor Tours, Hyannis, Mass., and the Island Wan- derer to Combined Thousand Island Boat Tours,

Alexandria Bay, N.Y.

The streamlined two-deck vessel East Chop is licensed to carry 350 passengers in Nantucket

Sound and admeasures under 100 tons. It makes 14 miles per hour. Features include the patented

Blount Vista-View windows in the bow, giving the passengers an unobstructed view forward, a modern snack bar and comfortable seating for all passengers.

Power is furnished by two General Motors 12V-71s, developing 670 horsepower. The de- livery of East Chop brings to three the number of Blount-built vessels operating out of Hyannis to the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nan- tucket.

The Island Wanderer is a replica of a Missis- sippi River excursion vessel built for sightseeing tours of the famous Thousand Island area.

Complete with hinged antique smoke stack and all the filigree of the nostalgic river steamers, the all-steel 65-foot two-deck boat has a single stern paddle wheel and is twin diesel powered. She is licensed to carry 150 passengers.

The Island Wanderer has a Mississippi style superstructure but a modern, seagoing "V" bot- tom that Rhode Island "Salts" know how to build.

The Island Wanderer sailed under her own power through Block Island and Long Island

Sounds and via the Erie Canal and Lake On- tario to her home p>ort.
