All Thompson
Antique & Classic Boat Rally

The first ever All Thompson Antique & Classic Boat Rally will take place Friday-Sunday August 10-12, 2001. The gathering of boats will be at Nest Egg Marine in Marinette, Wisconsin on the banks of the Menominee River. Just one mile inland from the waters of Lake Michigan’s Green Bay, Nest Egg is a perfect backdrop for a get together of old boats built by the various Thompson companies. The Rally location is just six miles from Peshtigo, Wisconsin, the home base of operations of the original Thompson boat enterprises. Boats built by the Thompsons and their numerous spin-offs include:

Thompson Bros. Boat Mfg. Co. Peshtigo, WI/Cortland, NY
Thompson Boat Co. Peshtigo, WI/St. Charles, MI
Thompson Boat Co. of NY, Inc. Cortland, NY
Thompson Royal-Craft, Inc. Cortland, NY
Thompson by Chris-Craft Cortland, NY
Cruisers, Inc. Oconto, WI
T & T Boats, Inc. Wausaukee, WI
Grady-White Boats Greenville, NC
Thompson Skis, Inc. (water skis) Crivitz, WI

Wooden boats as well as classic vessels made of fiberglass will be displayed both in the water and on land. Presentations on the history of the Thompson marine endeavors will be included as part of the show. The Rally location is just a short walk from a major hotel, restaurants, a public library and a logging museum. Marinette County is considered the waterfall capital of the Midwest with twelve major waterfalls within a short drive of the marina. The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame is 55 miles away and several maritime museums are close by as well. Program subject to change.
