Here you go, Jim. I posted about Booth's boat back in October.

Thank you Dave, I now remember the posting. As Dave is well aware of, Herb Collins, retired curator emeritus of the Smithsonian spent a great amount of time looking for the boat. It was listed in the Smithsonian annual report back around 1900. Dave and I are seeking permission to examine each of the Smithsonian's 25,000,000 artifacts to find the boat.
