Daniel Brothers, Comet Fans,
Now Sporting 46-Foot Yacht

Some had visions, up to that hap
py moment, of the good ship going
aground off some lighthouse, with
only the lightkeeper's daughter on
hand to lend assistance. Or of run
ming out of fuel-the Caravans a
twin-engine job, sailors recalled
nervously. Or both her powerful en-
gines breaking cylinder heads.
Nothing like that happened, they
learned when invited aboard at the
end Of the voyage.
AS mentioned before, Caravan has
lots of power. That Is why the last
days run up from Leonardtown,
Md, was made in such record time
less than seven hours.
AS one man, the Daniel trio re-
marked: "It was a reeflng breeze,
even for us"
Their plans are a little hazy at
present, but eventually the yacht
will make it's way to Chesapeake Bay
and will be used to tow their comets
and others to various regattas.

Nations Recreational
Fleet Grows in 40
By Per Cent
36,430 Croft Launched;
Seattle Second Behind
Gothum in Numbers

The year 1910 saw a new advance
in recreational boating throughout
the United States and its possess
sions. with a total of 315,277 num-
bered motorboats in use on Federal
waters last January l.
An increase of 36,430 craft was re-
corded during 1910. representing a
gain of 13 per cent
Gains were recorded throughout
all of the 48 customs houses of the
Nation, with the largest percentage
Of increases noted in the inland Sec
tors.
New York City remained the Ma
tons most popular boating center
with an individual registration of
3466e craft, but Seattle displaced
Baltimore as the country's No. 2 mo-
torboat port. Seattle, during 1910.
registered 1913 craft, a gain of
2,575, and Baltimore clung to third
place with 1861.
Detroit, which was listed sixth at
the start of 1910, jumped to fourth
with 1870 craft, a gain of 2,718.
Tampa, Fla, with 16,451 boats, re-
placed Philadelphia in fifth position.
Norfolk, Va. jumped from 10th
to 9Th.

Boating on Manmade
I. Y. A. Lakes Up 33
Per Cent in 1910
More Than 1000 Croft
In Operation; Channel
Runs for 300 Miles

Recreational boating activity in
the Tennessee Valley continued its
rapid upswing during the 1910 sea-
son, registering at least a SO per
cent increase in the number OF
boats now in use on T. V. A. lakes,
it was announced in an unofficial
survey by the National Association
of Engine and Boat Manufacturers.
More than 1000 craft now are
estimated to be owned on the stor-
age reservoirs and lakes in the
T. ". A. system, representing a
gain of 1000 boats during the year,
including outboard and inboard
runabouts and cruisers up to 4S
feet in length.
The creation of Lake Chicka-
mauga, completed early this year
at Chattanooga, gave an impetus
to boating on the Tennessee River.
Two other new manmade lakes,
Guntersville in Alabama, which was
dedicated in 1889, and Pickwick,
opened in 1888 at the juncture OF
the Tennessee-Alabama- Mississippi
State borders, also figured promi-
nently in the increase of motor
boats and other recreational craft.
Lake Norris, the vast landlocked
storage reservoir near Knoxville,
continues to lead in popularity, how
ever, with 1000 boats of various
types in use at the close of the
season. Norris and Chickamauga
accounted for $50 new inboard run
abouts and cruisers and $50 out
board runabouts by the middle of
the last summer. Dealers in Knox
vile and Chattanooga sold more
than S250,000 worth of new motor
boats. Boats launched on Chicka-
mauga averaged around $1,000 in
value
A 9-foot channel now has been
established on the Tennessee River
for nearly 300 miles from Pick
wick Dam in Eastern Tennessee to
the head of Chickamauga, go miles
above Chattanooga. In addition to
Guntersville Lake, 30 miles long,
and Pickwick, so miles in length,
Wheeler Lake extends for IA miles
to place the larger portion Of the
present Tennessee River pools in
Northern Alabama.
Wheeler was completed in 1896
and now is forging ahead with Pick
wick and Guntersville in recrea-
tional boating development. There
are approximately $500 boats in
use through this section Of the
valley. Added to the 1000 on Nor
ris and 500 now in use on Chicka-
mauga, this brings the T. v. A.
total to 1000 craft, compared with
an estimated 5000 at the end Of
the 1899 season.
