| 摘要： | One of the large and palatial side-wheelers, the Thompson Dean was built at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1872. Constructed on a wooden hull measuring 306 feet in length by 46 feet in width, the machinery was recycled from the first Thompson Dean, which burned at New Orleans in 1871. A battery of seven boilers supplied steam to engines having 30-inch cylinders with a 10-foot stroke. The ornate cabin of the boat was reported to be 246 feet in length, 18 feet wide and 17 feet in height. Owned and operated by Thompson Dean and Capt. James Pepper, the riv-erboat ran in the Cincinnati-New Or-leans-St. Louis trade. Upon Pepper's retirement, Capt. William Miller assumed command; at that time the boat was operating between Memphis and New Orleans during the cotton season. |
