Here is a view of the St. Genny's backside... looks like the crank on the barge at St. Louis.
ALso a great link about attempts at restoration in the 80's. https://qctimes.com/news/local/remem...2c2021.html#34

That is an excellent picture of the Gennys wheel. I blew it up so that my 83 year old eyes could see better and it appears that it is what the "old timers" called a split wheel. Would that match the center flanges as Frank Prudent saw them ?? The mystery continues. Maybe "Tommy Towboater" would solve the mystery???

Mystery solved... now, why are they still packing it around? Too big for a yard ornament,
me thinks. I've got a steam thermometer from the St. Genny somewhere in my garage...
she was scrapped here in Paducah and the fellow who took her apart gave it to me. I never
did anything with it, no boat name, only "Lunkenheimer".
