History[]
Background[]
This boathouse was a base for the Jungle Navigation Company in 1930s. It was seemingly used as far back as 1932, a year after company president Alberta Falls started the, "Jungle Cruise" tourism service. On the December 8 of 1932, a skipper happened upon lost Temple of Immortality and base-camp of criminal archaeologist Professor Garrett Reed who sought after the temple's Emerald Trinity which bestowed immortality.
The skipper later happened upon Reed's camp where they witnesses his death at the hands of jungle vines. The jungle subsequently turned on the skipper too who was revealed to have stolen one of the jewels. The boat narrowly escaped murderous plants, the resurrected "Voodoo" tribe, and zombies emerging from the water. Eventually the boat entered the Canyon of the Gods where the canyon's fire and water deity reclaimed the stolen jewel. The gods attempted to kill those aboard the boat only for the boat to escape to the JNC boathouse.
