| 摘要： | Editor's note: Keith Norrington is retiring as Old Boat columnist for The Waterways Journal after a decade of weekly columns. His final column will appear April 4; until then, we are rerunning several of his favorite columns. Built in 1883 by the Axton yard at Brownsville, Pa., the pretty sternwheeler Park City was originally named Gayoso. Constructed on a wooden hull measuring 127 feet in length by 28 feet in width, the steamboat was owned by the famous Lee Line of Memphis, Term. The vessel ran in the Memphis-St. Francis River trade until it was sold in early 1895 to Capt. Elmore Bewley, who took the boat to the Ohio River to run in the Evansville-Green River trade. In 1897, the name of the steamboat was changed to Park City. While operating on the Green, Jake Hettinger, Jett Hines and J. Edgar Williams were among those who served as clerks. Jett Hines later married Ida Williams, sister of the Williams brothers who operated the Evans-ville & Bowling Green Packet Company; their sons later operated the James R. Hines firm at Bowling Green. |
