We’ll never know exactly how many people were killed in the Tri-State’s deadliest steamboat disaster.
The big news in 1935 concerned the packet Cape Girardeau, purchased by the Greene Line Steamers from the Eagle Packet Company of St. Louis.
On November 1, 1882, the second Granite State would become involved in what would be known as “The Ashland Tragedy” at Ashland, Ky.
The diminutive sternwheel steam packet Queen of Dycusburg was later one of the early towboats in the James R. Hines Company fleet.
