About the Chief Uncas
The Chief Uncas was built in 1912 for Adolphus Busch, co-founder of the famous American beer company, to enjoy cruises at his summer estate on Otsego Lake in Cooperstown, NY – the headwaters of the Susquehanna River. SNHA purchased the Chief Uncas in 2021 and transported the boat to Pennsylvania.  To learn more about the history of the Chief Uncas, read SNHA’s history brochure.
