1907:
About 2;30 AM a ferry employee sees suspicious activity on the river. A
small skiff with 3 men on board crosses over from Watervliet and pulls alongside
the 30 ‘ naphtha launch owned by Grant S. Fisher of Catskill. Knowing who’s
boat it is the ferryman calls Fisher at the Mansion House hotel on
Washington Square. Fisher arrives just as the boat was cut loose. The determined
Fisher follows the boat till he reaches the South Troy Canoe club, where he puts a
pursuit vessel in the water. The thieves give up their prize and cut the
launch, worth $2000.00 then (about $30,000.00 now) loose.
