I want to know of I'm correct on this count. Disney sold Walt Disney World's Bertha Mae keelboat, not the Bertha Mae from Disneyland. If I remember right, until, recently, both were visible from the monorail, near the back of Indiana Jones green building. Please, can someone clear my confsuion.

One of the keel's was put as "decoration" on Tom Sawyers Island during the recent refurb.

You can see A Keel Boat from the Monorail at the place you described, I'm pretty sure its still there unless they moved it for the rehab. I'm not sure what boat that is either.:fez:

Than I was right. Thank you all so much. The Gullywumper is moored at Tom Sawyer Island, so the Bertha Mae must still in the backlot. Budget cut, perhaps.

I thought it was the other way around. It was the Gullywhumper that capsized years ago, and I remember thinking when I saw the photo of the keelboat on the river recently that it wasn't the one that capsized. Are you sure it isn't the Bertha Mae out there?

The boat tied to the side of Tom Sawyer Island says " G U L L Y W H U M P E R " so I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's not the Bertha Mae ;)

I will support Zap and also say that the other boat, in the back, IS the Bertha Mae.
