I'm in the final stage of a huge project, updating the whole steamboats.org website and migrating it to a new software platform (i.e. Wordpress). After working through every single page updating all the information that - I admit - hasn't been touched for years, I've got three question I hope someone is able to answer:
1) The Mamie S. Barrett at Deer Park, LA, has been damaged in a fire in 2017 and if I recollect correctly, there was some heavy flooding after that as well. Is there something left from the wreck of the boat at all or is the Mamie S. Barrett gone for ever?
2) The Majestic Showboat at Cincinnati has been sold to the owners of the Moyer Winery at Manchester, OH, in 2019. But then the winery burnt down, taking them out of business. Does anyone know what happened to the Majestic? Is she still in Cincinnati now?
3) The P. A. Denny has been operated by the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission. But that doesn't seem to be the case today. Does anyone know what happened to the P. A. Denny and where she is now?
Thanks so very much! ...and stay tuned for the big relaunch of steamboats.org in the near future (don't worry, so far this will not affect the message board at all, though I'll probably have to update the message board software as well, soon).
Kind regards
Franz
