moving boats around

Post by summer storm »

Well as some of you know I am slowly writing a book about Trojans and Trojan Yachts Inc. One rule I have is no matter what someone tells me the info needs to be verified by photos, paperwork or straight from the horses mouth, so to speak. This requires a lot of research on my part and I came across a photo that I thought you all might like to see. It seems that Trojan (at least in 1965) moved the boats around with a fork lift, like boxes in a warehouse. It just struck me as a odd photo. :D

It seems strange to see a boat being moved that way, and one of my first thoughts was where are they and where are they taking it? Looks like dirt all around.
