America (steamboat)
| Description: |
The America was built in Jeffersonville from the hull and machinery of the old Indiana in 1917. She ran as a packet for several years and then was converted to an excursion boat. She burned at Jeffersonville, Indiana in 1930. The America is seen here at the Madison riverbank taking on passengers for an American Boy excursion trip to Rose Island sponsored by the Marks and Benson Clothing Store.
