==Attraction History==
Like many of the Magic Kingdom's opening day attractions, the Mike Fink Keel Boats actually got their start in Disneyland, where the attraction opened in late 1955 <refname= "dated"> https://waltdatedworld.com/id184.htm </ref>. The free-floating boats were based on the popular Davy Crockett, specifically the episodes "Davy Crockett's Keel Boat Race" and "Davy Crockett and the River Pirates" <ref> https://www.davelandweb.com/riversofamerica/keelboats.html </ref>.
As previously mentioned, the Mike Fink Keel Boats opened with the rest of the [[Magic Kingdom]] on October 1, 1971 <ref> https://d23.com/a-to-z/mike-fink-keel-boats/ </ref>. The two Keel Boats (named the Gullywhumper and Bertha May) boarded from a dock near the [[Haunted Mansion]] in [[Liberty Square]]. The Mike Keel Boats remained relatively unchanged until 2000, when the attraction's loading was moved to the former [[Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes]] dock in [[Frontierland]] <ref> This change can be seen on the 2000 Magic Kingdom Map ex https://twitter.com/GoAwayGreen/status/1301498221739606020/photo/1. Thank to How Bowers! </ref>. The move was short lived however, as on April 29, 2001 the Keel Boats were permanently closed <Ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/mike-fink-keel-boats.htm </ref>.
