Jupiter’s School Boat
How did Jupiter kids get to school around the turn of the last century? The same way most people got around -- by boat.
The Jupiter school boat was called "The _______" in honor the of the battleship U.S.S. _______, which exploded in Havana Harbor in 1898 igniting the Spanish American War. The lifeboat came from the famous battleship. So far, no source has indicated how the lifeboat from a battleship that exploded in 1898 became a school transport a few years later but it sounds like an interesting yarn in itself. A look at a map of Florida in the early 1900's shows that the sparse population was clustered toward the coastline and around lakes and rivers. The reason for this is clear -- land travel was very difficult.
