| 摘要： | The steamer Fleetwood was built at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1866.A sidewheeler with a wooden hull measuring 255 feet in length by 36 feet in width, the big packet was constructed for Capt. Charles M. Holloway and other investors to run in the Cincinnati-Pome-roy-Parkersburg trade. Later the boat was operated by the Cincinnati, Big Sandy & Pomeroy Packet Company.The riverboat carried a print shop and editorial office aboard, located in the space beneath the floor of the pilothouse. A weekly newspaper titled the Fleetwood Reflector was published, mainly to publicize that the steamboat was a dependable passenger and freight carrier. The publication also carried advertising for area businesses.Capt. Frederick Way (1901-1992) said that when the Sons & Daughters of Pioneer Rivermen decided to commence publication of a quarterly magazine in 1964, it was determined that S&D Reflector would be appropriate, taking the name from the former Fleet-wood Reflector and owing to the fact that the S&D emblem contains a searchlight, composing a reflector. |
