| 摘要： | Happy spring! As we bid farewell to winter, tbe Old Boat Column presents an image taken nearly 85 years ago on December 12, 1937. The photograph of the ice-tinged St. Louis levee was publicized as having been snapped during the lowest water on the Mississippi since the United States Weather Bureau began keeping records of river stages in 1861, with the water being at minus 5 feet, some 10.6 feet lower than the normal level for December. Note how far the water has receded from the point where the cobblestones of the wharf end. Even lower readings were subsequently taken during 1940,1963 and 1989. In the distance are Capt. J.W Men- kes Goldenrod Showboat and the steam towboat Wenonah (formerly the Little Clyde), which had established permanent residence at St. Louis two months prior. |
