My Dad Erich Kuhnel owned the Ships Inn during the late 40's and early 50's. In September 1951 my Dad and Mother told me they had a surprise for me, they were going to give me the Ships Inn as taking care of two taverns (they also owned the Myrtle and Gates tavern in Ridgewook New York) was just too much for them. Then I sprang my surprise on them telling them that I had just enlisted in the Air force and was leaving for basic training the next Monday. Writing about the Inn brings back many good memories. I had a boat which I parked behind the Inn. It was a 16" hand made boat with a 5" beam and a 7 1/2 HP Scott at Water motor but because it was so heavy it was slow but for a 16 year old guy was lots of fun. Oh well those days have gone but not the memories. Erich Kuhnel class of 51.
