Chuck Rupp, of Kittanning, Pennsylvania, a decade or more ago “rescued” the Winona Queen pontoon boat by purchasing the retired craft from storage in Winona Lake, Indiana. After refurbishing the boat, Rupp used it for several seasons on the Upper Allegheny River near Kittanning, PA, as part of a campgrounds/marina he operates. The Queen now sits in drydock in an abandoned brickyard shed near Templeton, PA.
