The 'Showboat' a paddleboat built in 1960 as part of an attraction for the amusement park 'Freedomland USA.' After the park's bankruptcy, the boat was sold and moved to Greenwich Harbor where it was renamed the 'Showboat' and moored across from the Showboat Motor Inn; the boat was used as an event space by the hotel for many years before it was once again sold and moved to the Byram River where it was again used as a party rental space. The 'Showboat' was sold again in 2018 but was severely damaged by weather and the attempted moving of the vessel and sent to be scrapped.Collection
