There was a lot of recreational boating in Castleton New York. There was a club in castleton called the Castleton Yacht Club. The club had a Blessing Of The Boats where there was a Fleet Queen who rode on a motor boat with her court. One year The Fleet Queen was Miss Carol Bittner riding James O'Brian's yacht with her court, Maureen O'Brian and Kay Olsen. Some boats like the Jacob H. Tremper, the Trojan, the Robert Fulton, and the Alexander Hamlilton took lots of people to different places on the Hudson River.
