| I was quite taken with the story of Mrs. Mary Greene. Wouldn't it be nice if some lost relic of her image were found in some nook or cranny of the ship. Perhaps in the infamous 109 room or box with that number. Or between the steam stack and room. Maybe it would turn up in the form of a locket or cameo picture were posted on the web site with a caption underneath quoting her famous "end toast" It's all so very wholesome and romantic. B

| Hello Nori! Just a note to let river enthusiasts know that the city of St. Charles, Missouri wants to dispose of the Goldenrod Showboat and is even considering giving it away! The venerable 1909 showboat is the last of only two authentic showboats in existence (the other is the MAJESTIC at Cincinnati, Ohio) and needs to be saved! From 1937 until 1990, the Goldenrod was moored at St. Louis and was the home of the annual ragtime festival. For anyone interested, there are articles about the boat on the web site of the St. Louis Post Dispatch.:: [Note this steamboat has found a good home. ed. Nov. 2003] |

| Hello! I am really happy to find your website on the internet.The topic of steamboats is quite far off from the place I live.Czech republic,Central Europe... I've got a english teacher who comes from the US and he was the one, who gave me some book (after that time I can't remeber its name) where I read about a journey of some people travelling on a steamboat on Mississipi river...after some time I realized that there was something magic on that story...and I started searching for any information concerning steamboats...your web's great! It gave me what I was looking for...photos, facts, things connected with...::All the best::Jan Rosecky
