Scenes From The Past, the Photo Collection of Gene Buel

Photos from Gene’s collection of the wooden raceboat pioneer, Gar Wood, and of Chris Craft boats can now be seen in PBS station KNPB’s (Reno, Nevada) high def presentation, Legends of the Lake.


Legends of the Lake “looks at the appreciation, beauty, and historical connections that lie beneath the surface of the mahogany rich wonders of classic wooden boats. Set at the Concours d’Elegance in beautiful Lake Tahoe, this 30-minute high-definition, documentary addresses the passion wooden boat owners have for their craft, familial connections, legendary speed kings, hydroplane racers and a history that tie generations together.”

You can find pictures of Gar Wood and Chris Craft boats in the Scenesfromthepast.com Photo Galleries.
