Betsy Ann
The Betsy Ann was a sternwheel packet, next a towboat and finally an excursion boat. She was built by Iowa Iron Works in 1899.[1] She is best remembered for participating in three steamboat races.[1] She lasted 41 years, until 1940, when she was dismantled at the St. Louis Wharf.[1] The Betsy Ann was the subject of the book The Log of the Betsy Ann, by Fred Way, former captain of the boat.[2] She ran on the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to Portsmouth, Ohio.[2]
