As there was lot of messages about the Gordon C. Greene and Jim Herron recently sent me two sad, but very good pictures from the sinking of the River Queen aka. Gordon C. Greene at St. Louis, I've put a portrait of the CGC online (http://www.steamboats.org/favorites/gcg.html).
I hope Alan Bates wouldn't mind that I took good portion of the text from a description he wrote for a model plan of the Cape Girardeau.
If you have any additions or corrections to the text, please just e-mail me and I'll add and/or correct it ;-)
