Awesome video. My profile pic is of the current Army Corp of Engineers' Mississippi which is the largest tow boat on the Mississippi while you shown the Mississippi II. If you look up "Jeffboat" on Wikipedia then you get a lot of info about boat making in Jeffersonville and possibility why they had that construction fencing up. You shown picture of modern steamboats. American Queen might not ride the rivers again. The company is looking into donating the American Queen to a city or something. The American Cruise Lines bought the American Queen boats but they are scrapping a few due to repair costs.
I learned a lot when I went there over the summer. If you watch the video link in the description, it is very infomative. It is the same video from the museum that they show before you start the tour. I was very impressed by this museum.
@@OhioRiverCam I'm kinda pausing on different things you were showing to read or look at things. It is a very nice museum. We have the George M. Verity here in Keokuk. It's an actually steamboat paddlewheel but I have lived here all my life and never with been in it. One of the mods on the Keokuk chat highly recommends it but I just haven't gotten around to it. I would love to see that museum in person.

You also shown the LST. What's the number of the LST boat that goes on the Mississippi and Ohio? I have video of it but YT is being crazy.
LST 325
