United States Mail Boat: Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire

The United States Mail Boat Uncle Sam, was declared the world's only floating post office on an inland body of water. Although the Uncle Sam is no longer in service, subsequent vessels, including the current Sophie C, have proudly carried on this legacy. The United States Mail Boat offers leisurely cruises around the lake, allowing passengers to explore its many islands and the picturesque surrounding mountains. These cruises provide insights into the rich history and folklore of the region, spanning from the Native American era through early settlement, and including the establishment of the floating post office.
