Senator (steamboat)
| Description: |
The Senator was built in 1903 as the Saint Paul, but she was rebuilt in Paducah, Kentucky in the winter of 1939-1940 and was at that time given the name Senator. She was owned by Streckfus Steamers, Inc., out of St. Louis and operated on the Ohio in 1940-1941. She was retired in 1942 to serve at St. Louis as a U. S. Coast Guard training ship. The Senator was later used by Streckfus as a floating machine shop. She was towed below St. Louis in 1953 for abandonment. Photograph taken circa 1939 |
