Iceboats Swept From Lake Winnebago In West Shore Drift
A strong west wind dislodged ice along Lake Winnebago causing 16 to 20 iceboats valued around 10 000 and many fishing shanties to drift out to sea. No one reported missing though fears persisted as authorities assessed salvage options with near freezing temperatures and mist hampering visibility. Some boats were sighted offshore near Stony Beach while locals watched from shore and a nearby shack was carried away.
