| The 1920's, the war to end all wars is over. Prohibition is the law of the land. Al Capone is going into business in Chicago. Flappers are protesting the conventional dress of the day. Lindberg is busy raising funds to build the Spirit of St. Louis. The stock market is exceeding everyone expectations. Babe Ruth is hitting home runs. The Canadians are distilling whiskey. Babe Ruth is drinking it. Launched in 1920, Scamper has wondrous tales locked in her planks, bulkheads and pilothouse. Imagine the conversations that echoed through her cabin. Did the original owner ever hear a friend suggest Scamper become a rum-runner with a few short trips to Canada? Did a friend bring a copy of a new release, The Great Gatsby, as reading material for the weekend? When the news of Lindberg's historic solo flight across the Atlantic came to Scamper, she was already seven years old and not quite broken in. Unlike the history frozen in books and documents, Scamper is living, breathing history. Stepping aboard Scamper is enough for many guests to connect with much of the history of the 20th century. Sit in the same spot on Scamper as Charles Harris did when he read the news of the stock market crash of 1929. Look through the original pilothouse windows and experience the enchantment of the San Juan Islands as people have done for over eighty years. Join us for a cruise that you will always remember. |
