The Old Boat Column in The Waterways Journal has been a fixture in the magazine for many years. I'm not sure exactly when it started, but it was an intermittent feature in the 1920s and 1930s.. When it was included, it was usually written by Journal owner/publisher Donald T. Wright or his long-time employee Capt. Sam G. Smith. Both were very interested in river history and voracious collectors of steamboat photos. After Capt. Boy L. Barkhau joined the staff in 1951, he did many of these columns. |
