The steamboat at the Landing is the MORNING STAR which according to Way&#8217;s Packet Directory was built at Howard Shipyard Jeffersonville Indiana in 1901, she was 225 feet x 38 feet with a 6 foot draft.  In 1910 her new owner added 25 additional feet to her length.  Way&#8217;s history records her in 1915 September and October she made a tourist trip from St. Louis to New Orleans which explains her stopping in Greenville possibly to refuel.  The Morning Star was destroyed by fire on November 4, 1922 when &#8220;a heedless watchman boiling tar on her galley stove for roof repairs caused the blaze.
