The finished then came into Cleveland and idled past the Tall Ships at the Port of Cleveland. They then proceeded eastbound inside the breakwall. When they got to the east end of Burke Lakefront Airport the occupants smelled smoke. They stopped the boat, lifted the engine hatch, and smoked, "billowed out". 
  
  Everyone put on personal floatation devices. The Operator called a Mayday on the marine radio, then it went dead. Passenger 2 flagged down an unknown second vessel who came alongside. Passengers 2 and 3 got on the second vessel. The Operator went to the bow and lowered the anchor then got on the second vessel. The second vessel took them to Newport Harbor at the Operator's request. 
  
  ODNR Parks & Watercraft towed the vessel to Gordon Ramp. At the dock Cleveland fire Department went on the vessel and verified the fire was out. We were met at the dock by the owner and all occupants of the vessel.
