NOTES: A local man named a ship after Lloyd Listed as a member of the Naval Academy at Annapolis in 1901-1904 Registered Republican in California Voter Registration in 1930 http://genwiz.genealogenie.net/lake_maxinkuckee/launches_lloyd_mcsheehy/lloyd_mcsheehy.htm Lloyd McSheehy 1886 - Was launched by A. J. Knapp, owner of the Arlington Hotel. Another source says launched April 1892. It ferried passengers from the Arlington Depot to places around the lake. Daniel McDonald wrote of the McSheey: About 1886 Capt. A. J. Knapp purchased a small steamer which had been built for service on Pretty Lake, near Plymouth, but as there was no sufficient patronage to justify the owner keeping it there he sold it to Mr. Knapp, who launched it on Maxinkuckee lake in connection with his hotel, "the Arlington" christening it "the LLOYD MCSHEEHY", in honor of a son of editor McSheey of the Logansport Chronicle, and it has been doing service on the lake ever since. John Bigley wrote of the McSheey: In 1886, Captain A. J. Knapp, owner of the Arlington Hotel and the Arlington station where the Allen boat house was later located, launched the LLOYD MCSHEEHY,named after the son of the editor of the Logansport Chronical. Captain Knapp was referred to as the "Sea Captain of the Lake". He was a conductor of the railroad. He would conduct the train as far as the station, then skipper his launch while a substitute took the train on to South Bend. George Nearpass, editor and publisher of Culver's first newspaper, the Marmont Herald stated that Knapp was known as the "Whistling Brakeman" on the train.By a 'Snipet' in the Logansport Chronicle we know the 'Lloyd McSheey' was still around in 1903 and had sunk during the winter of 1903-4 - I went down to the inlet yesterday to see Capt. A. J. Knapp's steamboat which was sunk by the ice during the winter. The upper works and smoke stack are alone visible. It will take a great deal of hard work to float the boat but as the timbers are of the best white pine there will be no damage. While down there I was hundreds of sandpipers... pg. 1 30 Apr. 1904 Logansport Cronicle
