Revised date?

Looks like the Library of Congress puts this at 1880.

Amazed

Whenever I see the old photos of the riverboats I am amazed at the short freeboard of these vessels. It amazing they did not lose a lot of freight. Interesting to see the cotton bales stacked like that.

Updated date.

The Paul Tulane sank and was a total loss, July 22, 1896 near Donaldsonville, LA.
