 The History of the Rose Lummis .

 

The Rose Lummis was built in 1953 in Jeffersonville, Indiana and operated as a tour boat on the Tennessee and Mississippi River. The paddle wheel was removed when she came to Sodus Point where she was renamed after the prominent Saint-like resident: Madame Rose Lummis.

The steel constructed, 49 passenger dinner & tour boat originally offered dinner and sight-seeing excursions on Sodus Bay during the late 1980's

Seeing the potential of the boat, Captain John Cooper purchased her in 2001 and completed extensive renovation work, receiving Coast Guard Certification in September, 2002. Renovations included the completion of the upper observation deck that features comfortable seating for 28 passengers at one time.
