Antique Outboard Motor Club Meet

For fans of antique boats and motors, save the date for a special outdoor event this July!

This is the third year in a row that the Dossin Museum will have a gathering of vintage outboard motors displayed on the grounds around the building. As Detroit is home to the first practical production outboard motor—the Waterman Porto—it is always fun to see the variety of features and styles that Cameron Waterman’s invention set in motion. The outboard “democratized” motorboating, and the AOMC enthusiasts who display their collections are happy to fire up century-old contraptions and explain the technical and artistic sides of their hobby.
