As a child Graham Rogers spent hours daydreaming of the seafaring vessels described in lore of ancient mariners. While still a teen he already was constructing boats to ply Canadas Muskoka Lakes region and in 1869 established Muskoka Boat Builders. Slathered in sawdust and smelling of the north woods Graham coaxed breathtaking boats from his little shop that served as forerunners to todays sleek and powerful mahogany runabouts. This Moment in Time clock reverberates with the pace and rhythm of a bygone era when a day on the lake paid homage to the gentle marriage of wood and water.
