Mail carriers are always in the swim of things in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, because they travel their delivery routes by boat. Every piece of mail arrives by special delivery, something they've been doing since 1873.
It takes talent to be a mailboat jumper, because the boat does not stop moving. A jumper waits for the approaching dock, leaps off of the boat, drops off mail, retrieves outgoing mail and jumps back onto the boat before it's too late.
The Lake Geneva Cruise Line has one of the few remaining U.S. Mail boat delivery routes in the United States.
