The Wenonah Wheel Mystery - The Waterways Journal


April 19, 2021
By Keith Norrington
With the demise by fire of the Goldenrod Showboat in late 2017, an unsolved question remains concerning the big pilotwheel that was long displayed in the lobby area of the famous floating theater. When removed from the derelict showboat, along with numerous other artifacts destined for a proposed river museum, it was noted that the wheel is of the double-circle variety and is not the pilotwheel of the steamer Wenonah, which long served as the towboat for the Goldenrod and Hollywood Showboats, both operated by the Menke family. (The Old Boat Column showcased Capt. Bill Menke in the ....

Letters: Cars On Barge - The Waterways Journal


Loved your story about cars-on-barge cargo, and the great picture (Old Boat Column,
WJ, March 1). Towing companies need to learn about the new Kia auto factory in Monterrey, Mexico, just 180 miles from the Gulf Intracoastal Canal at Brownsville. Kia and others are railing millions of new cars every year to the USA’s East Coast markets. This long-haul rail freight is expensive, as railroads must interline with several different carriers, and because there is no backhaul for these specialized rail cars. Unlike a barge, which has space to store collapsable car racks, and make room for other Mexico bound cargoes.  ....

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 ....
