Looks to be a lovely little launch, but not terribly 'African Queen-esque'.

"[Human] Nature, Mr. Allnut, is what we are put in this world to rise above."

Best movie ever! Did you know the movie was loosely based on a true story: https://www.amazon.com/Mimi-Toutous..._0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1562864280&sr=8-1-fkmr1 -- great book.

My commemorative Gordon's Gin bottle:

P.S. Nice boat.

Did you know some of it was filmed in Ausable Chasm, NY?

Nice pics!

Did you know: Humphrey Bogart's part had to be substantially rewritten before filming since his character was originally a Cockney riverman, and Bogart couldn't do a Cockney accent.
