History of River Tyme – De Pere<\/h4>\n

You are about to board a well traveled vessel! She was built as a one-of-a-kind in 1953 in Jeffersonville, Indiana and operated as a tour boat under the name Miss Green River<\/em> on the Green River running thru Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky, while owned by M.E. Nash. Then she was owned by Pete & Mike Hoseman while under the name Sea Witch<\/em> on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga & the Mississippi River in Vicksburg. <\/p>\n

In 1986 she was moved to Sodus Point, New York, and operated on Sodus Bay off the south shore of Lake Ontario by the Arney Family. She was renamed Rose Lummis<\/em> after Madame Rose Lummis, a prominent Sodus Point Catholic missionary in the mid 19th century who was known as the woman \u201cwho did the work of eleven priests\u201d.<\/p>\n

In 2001 she was purchased by Captain John Cooper who completed major renovation work including the completion of the upper observation deck. Captain John kept the name Rose Lummis<\/em> and ran tours in Sodus Bay. Later, he moved the tour to Spencerport, New York where it operated on the Erie Canal and Geneva, New York, and then finally he offered tours of Seneca Lake.<\/p>\n

In October 2015, after an extensive countrywide search, she was purchased by River Tyme Tours (formerly Fox River Tours). Hauled by truck for 845 miles to the shores of the Fox River, she underwent extensive renovations during the winter\/spring of 2016 and began tours of the Fox River in May 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
