Thompson Dockside, formerly known as Thompson Boats, was a prominent manufacturer of pleasure boats in the early 20th century. Founded by Peter Thompson and his brothers in Peshtigo, Wisconsin in 1904, the company quickly gained popularity and expanded its operations to include a second plant in Cortland, New York. Known for their signature Lapstrake lake runabout, Thompson Boats became renowned for their elegant design, durability, and safety. Although the company eventually transitioned to fiberglass production and ceased building wooden boats in 1970, Thompson Dockside remains dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of Thompson Boats through their newsletter and website.
