The Perseverance II was named after her predecessor who roamed the White River over 100 years ago. After spending time on the Morse Reservoir as the "Star of Cicero", she was abandoned and allowed to sink.
With three cranes, Captain McRee salvaged the vessel and hauled it to his ship yard. Using the finest materials, including walnut and white oak gathered from Central Indiana, the refit of the boat began in October 2007 and was completed July 2010.
In Honor of Meredith Smith
The Perseverance II was built in honor
and memory of Meredith Smith. Meredith
was a White River Yacht Club icon responsible
for the White River fireworks for over 40 years as well as a mentor for many young men.
