"No Hurry"

"No Hurry" was built for Victor and Jesse Lawson by the Electric Launch Company of Bayonne, New Jersey, in 1909. The fifty-five foot boat is made of cypress, white oak, and mahogany and was powered by two electric motors and one hundred forty batteries. The Lawsons built a boathouse in 1910 to house "No Hurry," and a power generating plant was also built that year to provide electricity for the estate and to recharge the boat. In the spring of 1994, "No Hurry" was purchased from the Nimphius Boat Company in Neshkoro, Wisconsin. On August 31, 1995, it returned to Green Lake through the generosity of Oliver and Virginia Shaw and Gary and Barbara Bahlow. "No Hurry" has been lovingly restored by Green Lake Conference Center volunteers under the direction of Wayne Blair of Pueblo, Colorado.
