Welcome to the website of the Michigan Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society. This site is dedicated to preserving the history of antique and classic boating in the Great Lakes region through the sharing of information about early power boating.
We schedule events throughout the year and around the state to promote the hobby we love. Please feel free to browse our site and visit our Photo Gallery which includes annual events such as inwater shows, swap meets and workshop tours, and don't miss the Project Corner where our members can submit photos of their DIY restorations.
We publish a complete calendar of events which will inform you of what is going on in your area and we hope you to see you at a show. Thank you for viewing our site - we hope you will take the opportunity to explore classic boating.
Two years ago, the Lake Champlain ACBS embarked on an ambitious project of publishing a 25th Anniversary hard cover coffee table book. We have compiled over five hundred photos and eight chapters of text depicting the " boats and the people " and the "people and the boats ". The Limited Edition Book, " Water and Wood " documents the historical aspects of the Lake Champlain and the Lake Champlain Chapter of the ACBS, including the early years to the present.
