Gee, I guess I didn't look closely enough at the page on this song at the Steve Briggs Website. Steve has lots of information on this song and its background, including photos of turtlebacks. Yes, those are the boats I recall from the 1960's, but I didn't know the name for them. I thought they had disappeared, but I saw a number of them in 1998, when I explored the Canadian shore of Lake Huron and the Huron River.
