Book inventory

Here is a list of books in my collection related to steamboat topics with a strong focus on US inland rivers, Western Rivers as well as on the East Coast and New England lakes, in California, the Pacific Northwest and on the Yukon River. But there are quite a few books about other regions like Australia as well.

These books have been gathering dust in my basement for years. But eventually, in April 2024 I found a new home for them where they’re accessible to the public and hopefully useful for research and enjoyment: The International Maritime Museum Hamburg. I donated my books to this incredible collection where they’re been taken care of very well and at may even be digitized to allow full-text online access as well.
