The A Scow Media Index: Johnson Boat Works to Melges

2026-06-19 16:28:27

I've put together a single-page media index for the A Scow — the big, fast inland scow that's been ripping across Midwest lakes for over a century. It pulls together the video, photos, history, and press I could find in one place, spanning the class from its Johnson Boat Works origins through the modern Melges era.

See it here: The A Scow Media Index

It's a self-contained gallery — Vimeo and YouTube footage, archive photography, and links out to the historical and class sources (ILYA, ascow.org, White Bear history, and more).

If you have media that belongs in it — footage, photos, articles I missed — let me know and I'll fold it in. I am especially looking for a copy of the "The Ultimate Ride" film, happy to pay legally for it.
