Swan Boats Boston

$18.00 Value

Certificate for 4 Swan Boat rides.

The Swan Boat story dates back to the 1870's when Robert Paget, whose descendants continue to operate the business, was granted a boat for hire license by the City of Boston.

Rowing a small boat in the Public Garden lagoon was a favorite summer pastime for city residents during the day and evening.

In 1877, Robert and others introduced a new kind of boat to the waters of the lagoon. With the popularity of the bicycle expanding, he developed a catamaran, which housed a paddle wheel arrangement that was foot-propelled. To cover the captain, Robert suggested a swan.

The idea came to him from his familiarity with the opera Lohengrin. The opera is based on a medieval German story in which Lohengrin, a knight of the Grail crosses a river in a boat drawn by a swan to defend the innocence of his heroine, Princess Elsa.

The fourth generation of the Paget family continues to preserve the tradition that has grown to become a symbol of City of Boston. Lyn Paget and her cousin Phil Paget maintain the charm and integrity of a vision that became a reality for a young boat builder and his wife many years ago.
