 The converted lumber barge "Keuka" served as a blind pig and speakeasy and sailed nightly between Boyne City and Charlevoix, hosting its guests in relative comfort.A murder aboard the ship and the pressure of US Treasury Department surveillance, however, forced the owner to scuttle the vessel in Lake Charlevoix.In 1930, the first Charlevoix Venetian Festival started as a candle-lit boat parade.
