"In August 2014, a boat made of rotten wood and forgotten memories was brought to the 

Finger Lakes Boating Museum. 

​

What unfolded over the next seven years is a story of new beginnings, community, and historical preservation.

​

In these pages, you will find an inside look into the passion project that brought together volunteers, donors, and museum representatives from all walks of life. 

​

A story of wood and water, of push and pull, of old and new, the Pat II reminds us that the human spirit is stronger than the passage of time."
