SPRAGUE in 1973

Sunday, January 13. 2008

Here comes a gorgeous picture the photographer Lou Shornick from Madison, Mississippi, took in 1973 when the Mississippi River flooded. This was just one year before the Sprague burnt in 1974. The picture probably is one of the last pictures taken from the Sprague.

Thanks very much to Lou Shornick (www.loushornick.com) for giving permission to show this picture here.

For mor information about the Sprague, please check the steamboats.org picture and sounds gallery and the Sprague entry in "The Steamboat Traveller".
