Hello
I am looking for information about a sternwheeler, the “Chickasaw” that plyed the Ohio between Cannelton and Evanville Indiana for a sand and gravel company at least into the 60’s. Does anyone know what has become of her ?
Thank you.
Bruce
Bruce, thank you for your interest in leelinesteamer.com. Way’s Packet Directory
list 3 steamers named Chickasaw. Way’s boat #1008 was built a Cincinnati in 1851
and was built for the Cincinnati-Memphis trade. She collided with the W.B. CLIFTON
on April 26, 1852 at French Island Ohio River below Owensboro Kentucky and went down
in 40 ft. with the cabin parted from the hull. Twenty people drowned.
Way’s boat #1009 was a iron hull Federal monitor gunboat built in 1863. She had 4 propellers
and saw active service in the war.
Way’s boat #1010 was a sternwheel packet built at Pittsburg 1883 185 x 35 x 6
