QUEEN OF BAYFIELD 241207 Built at Bayfield during the winter of
1940-1941 by LeBel Brothers, for Chris J. Hadland. The 40 ft. x 11 ft.
vessel was initially equipped with a 60 hp. 4 cylinder Kermath gasoline
engine as the main power, located on center. To the starboard a 6 cylinder
1939 Chevrolet car motor was used as a second source of propulsion, and
to drive the net lifter. In 1944 the Kermath was replaced with a Chrysler
Crown marine gas engine with a 2 :1 reduction gear turning a 24 x 24
wheel. In 1946 the Chevrolet engine was removed, and a new net lifter
equipped with a air-cooled engine was installed. Operated by the Hadland
family until 1967, the boat was then sold to Leonard Peterson. In 1970
Leonard sold the boat to his brother, Martin Peterson, who operated with
her until 1982, when he sold her to the Red Cliff Chippewa, for use as
a Fishery Research vessel. The boat was then re-powered with a 6 cylinder
turbocharged Perkins diesel. The boat was then re-powered with a 6 cylinder turbocharged Perkins diesel. As of 2007, it could be seen sitting on land behind the Red Cliff tribal fish hatchery, off Highway 13, but the boat was finally scrapped some time before 2014. VIEW PICTURE
