Old Packet Boat Retired
For ourist Attraction

VENICE, Fla.-The Gordon C.
Greene, last of the Mississippi
River packet boats, is going into
glamorous retirement in Venice
Fla.
After reaching its final port
here, it will be turned into a
combination museum, restaurant
and Florida tourist attraction.
AS museum, it will depict
river history from the time the
Indians travelled the Mississippi
in canoes, through the days of
the f1atboats and river packets
and up to the modern era of
diesel towboats.
The restaurant and bar, with
a seating capacity of about 400,
will give ample room for dane
ing. Several cocktail lounges
are planned on the open upper
deck The space the boilers once
occupied will be turned into a
show-boat type theater in the
10Th century atmosphere.
The packet will be tied up on
Donna Bay, which touches the
Tamiami Trail, and will be
clearly visible to the thousands
of tourists that travel down the
West Coast Of Florida each year.
The Gordon c. Greene is an
exact duplicate of the old river
packets that piled the Mississippi
in the 10th century. 1t was built
in Jacksonville, Ind, and named
the Cape Girardeau.

ming in the spring of 1924 until
1881, at which time it was de-
Icided to place it in the summer
tourist service.
In 1885, it was sold to Greene
Line Steamers, Inc, of Cincin-
natl. who changed the name to
Gordon c. Greene. From that
time on she made runs between
many cities on the Ohio and up
per Mississippi until 1852.
The boat will be rechristened
