The next statement in Mr. Way
book about shallow river wate
should be taken with a grain o
salt-or a pretZel. "a steambOa
must be so built that when the rivel
is low and the sandbars come ou
of beer and run the boat four miles
on the suds."
Many boats ran aground on the
Muskingum before the mate coul6
tap a keg of beer Only delay and
discomfort to the passengers re
suited. When a boiler exploded
however there was usually loss Of
life. One relic in Mr.. Richardson's
collection recalls an explosion IN
which his father was victim.
On February Is, 1879, when Cap
tain Richardson was pilot on the
l.. G. Mccormack, he went off duty
below Beverly. Going to his room
he shaved, set his shaving mug un-
der the stove, and went to bed
Twenty minutes later the boiler ex-
ploded One man was killed and
the boat destroyed. Capt. Richard
son escaped with few burns.
Two years later a farmer who
lived near the site of the explosion
p1owed up a shaving mug that had
been washed ashore by high water.
A bystander recognized the mug as
the property of Capt. Richardson
and returned it to the owner. To-
day it occupies a prominent place
in the collection of the captains
son.
About 1925, when river i'm
provement was agitated, it was be-
lieved that unlimited prosperity
would result from the opening Of
the valley to steamboats,. When the
citizens of GAINESVILLE heard on
March 8, 1886, that the legislature
had authorized the improvement of
the river, they placed a candle in
every window and Joined in pa
rade headed by drums and violins.
The project was completed in about
1OuI yCdI dt q SOoI VI P4 ~ = ,V1 q.
A century has passed since steam
boats started to make regular trips
on the Muskingum. Just as it is
now the ambition of many boys To
become airplane pilots, so during
the packet era it was the dream of
boys from Marietta to Dresden to
stand at the pilot wheel of a boat
and pull blast on the whistle that
would bring the residents of the
next town to the landing.
AS a labor of love for the van
ished romance of the steamboat Pc
riod, Mr.. Richardson has assembled
a collection that presents vivid
and coIorful panorama of river life.
