I rode the Belle when it was the Avalon. My mother went along on a Cub Scout outing ride on Greyhound busses. We met up with the Belle along the River bank at Jeffersonville Indiana. The unique ability of a river boat to dock anywhere gave us a gang plank entry.
What I really would like is a mathematical model of how those engines worked with their Rees cutoffs, and also the steam assisted steering gear. The Belle is not just an old boat, she represents the most state of the art design of her period. She is an old ADVANCED steamboat.
I once met a young man who was hosting an indi filming in the highlands back in 2007 and wanted me to invest. I soon found out he was the guy who sunk the Belle of Louisville years ago. Lets just say I was not going to do business with such a man.
I fricking love this boat hope to cruise on her this year

It's the only steamboat on the Mississippi River system built during Mark Twain's lifetime. Pretty cool!
Loved working on the Belle. Was employed there twice. Wish I would've stayed aboard
