The Golden Re'al is a 70-foot Dutch sailing barge. She played a big role in WWII. Then named the Wilhelmina, she carried crops from beyond German occupied areas to Amsterdam, curtailing a blockade.

The Tugboat Roundup happens each each, the weekend after Labor Day. A great festival with food, music, historical tours, tugboat tours, crafts, and spectacular Saturday fireworks. There are tugboat parades and tugboat competitions including line tossing for the crew (it's a lot harder than it looks!) and the favorite, Nose to Nose Push-off where the skill of the captains, the strength of the boat and the power of the engines are put to the test.
