| I AM INTERESTED IN INFORMATION ON STEAMBOATS OR RIVERBOATS THAT ORGINATED IN PITTSBURGH BETWEEN 1900 AND 1950. MY GRANDFATHER WAS A RIVERBOAT CAPTAIN AND BECAME SUPERENTENDENT OF THE RIVERS FROM PITTSBURGH DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. MAYBE THESE WERE CALLED PADDLE BOATS? I HAVE LITTLE KNOWLEDGE BUT DO KNOW THAT THE STEEL MILLS SHIPPED STEEL SOUTH AND HAULED WHISKEY NORTH. CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

| I am on the Event Committee at Arizant Healthcare Inc. and am wondering if there are steamboat rides available for parties of 250. Please respond at your earliest convenience. Thank you!::::I love steamboats too. I was born in Winona, Minnesota, where the Mississippi Queen was dry docked, before it was burned by vandals. They built a replica, but it was not to scale and not as beautiful as the Mississippi Queen was.

| I work with people with Developmental Disabilities and one of the gentlemen that I work with would like some information about a steamboat from the Civil War called "The Saltana". I have tried looking this up but cannot find anything. He may be pronouncing the name of the ship incorrectly. He told me that there was an explosion on the ship on the Mississippi River after the Civil War and that many people were killed. If you have any idea what boat he is referring to and can lead me to some sites, I'd appreciate it.::::Thank-you!

Captain Mann was from the St. Louis area, we are told.
