Down Yonder On The Yazoo - The Waterways Journal


April 5, 2021
By Keith Norrington
In previous Old Boat Columns throughout the past 10 years, we have presented various large and notably palatial cotton packets, such as the Belle of the Bends that ran on the Lower Mississippi mainly in the Vicksburg region. Today we focus upon several of the smaller steamboats that faithfully served the Yazoo River trade.
On the left in the main image is the Alice Miller, built at the Howard Shipyard in Jeffersonville, Ind., in 1904 for a cost of $9,000. Constructed on a wood hull measuring 130 feet in length by 27 feet in width, the sternwheeler, originally named Frank B. Hayne, was built for John P. Parker, of Monroe, La., to run on the Ouachita as well as the Boeuf River, a tributary of the Ouachita that flows for 216 miles through Louisiana and Arkansas. ....

Capt. Bill Menke, River Showman - The Waterways Journal


March 5, 2021
By Keith Norrington
John William Menke was born on August 3, 1880, in Cincinnati, Ohio, where his family operated a saloon. In 1902, he went to Jersey City, N.J., where his brother Ben, employed as a watchmaker, secured employment for J.W. or Bill, as he was usually known at the same company.
During this time, the two brothers built a 34-foot yacht, which they named Cincy in honor of their hometown. For a time they operated small excursions in New York harbor.
The yacht was later placed aboard a railroad car and shipped to Pittsburgh, where it was launched into the Ohio River. Despite the frigid wintry weather, the Menke boys obtained a movie projector and headed downstream to Cincinnati, financing their journey by showing movies in stores and schools. They descended the river as far as Uniontown, Ky., where they became caught in the ice next to French’s New Sensation Showboat. ....

Automobiles By Barge - The Waterways Journal


March 1, 2021
By Keith Norrington
Nearly a century ago, the automobile was coming into vogue as a common means of transportation for the American people. When cars were made affordable thanks to mass production, the economic effects for the United States were astounding.
Before paved roads were plentiful, delivery of cars from factories was done largely by railroad and riverboat. Lee Line Steamers of Memphis often delivered autos to purchasers via its packet boats, and the famed towboat Sprague regularly towed barges laden with as many as 300 automobiles aboard.
This practice abated in the 1920s, but resumed following the Great Depression when Greene Line Steamers removed the passenger staterooms from their packet steamers Tom Greene and Chris Greene to handle auto deliveries between Cincinnati and Louisville until 1947. ....

Icy Times Returneth On The River - The Waterways Journal


February 22, 2021
By Keith Norrington
After years of a relative respite from severe winters, it appears that icy times have returned. Unlike the Upper Mississippi River where, owing to ice harbors, coves and other safe places, mariners in cold climates take icy conditions in stride, the Ohio River has never been well equipped to handle it; especially in steamboat days. 
According to record, one of the worst ice blockages on the Ohio occurred in the 1850s, when the river completely froze and remained closed to traffic for 57 days.
As most river historians agree, the most damaging ice situation of all time, on both the Mississippi and Ohio, happened during the winter of 1918. With most of the steamboats still being wooden-hulled, the razor-sharp ice virtually sawed hulls off at the waterlines. As the ice piled up on main decks, it either sank the boat from the excessive weight or crushed the upper works ....
