  • Historic Watercraft, Shreveport to Daingerfield
    Historic Watercraft, Shreveport to Daingerfield require very light skiffs in order to shoot the rapids or to be dragged over the river bed in low water. During the late Spanish Period keelboats began to be used on Red River (Hyams 1939:62). Keelboats were generally 40 to 80 feet long, with a 7 to 10 foot beam, and had a depth of hold of 3 to 4 feet. The standard keelboat carried a load of 15 to 50 tons of merchandise. These vessels had a shallow draft of about 2 feet when loaded, were pointed at both ends, and the center was usually covered by a cabin or cargo box. The narrow form of the keelboat enabled them to ply small tributaries where barges and flatboats could never reach (Pearson et al. 1989). A 12- to 18-inch-wide cleated footway ran around the gunwales on which the crew walked when poling the vessel along. In addition to poling, keelboats commonly were rowed, and often had a single mast and sail (Taggart 1983). Keelboats operating on the Red River averaged about 90 feet in length and were of 22 so 37 tons burden. Some of these vessels were built locally, however, most were constructed along the Ohio River and brought south Historical documents indicate that keelboats were possibly she most common type of cargo vessel on Red River until she 1820s (Works Projects Administration thereafter cited WPA] 1942). Among she keelboats operating on the Red and her tributaries during she early American Period were the Anna Lucinda, Buffalo, Colonel Ashley, Eliza, Little Tom, Packet, Three Sisters, Mary Jane, and Messenger (WPA 1942).

  • Brownsville's Steamboat Enterprize and Pittsburgh's Supply Ofgeneral Jackson's Army by Alfred A.Maass
    Brownsville's Steamboat Enterprize and Pittsburgh's Supply ofGeneral Jackson's Army by Alfred A.Maass LEGENDS surround the history of transport on America's inland rivers, ranging from the remarkable canoe treks of the early explorers toMark Twain's Lifeon the Mississippi. The significance of MANYthe river highway in the settlement and economic develop- ment of the West has enhanced the romantic flavor of river history and perpetuated these stories. One of these legends has as its subject Captain Henry M. Shreve. Captain Shreve commanded the steamboat Enter- prize on the first successful round trip of a steamboat be- tween Pittsburgh and New Orleans in 1814-15. Shreve, cap- tain of a distinguished series ofriver steamers, and de- scribed as inventor of a system forremoving obstructions from river bottoms, became a hero to people in the Missis- sippi River basin forhis work as superintendent of the West- ern Rivers Improvement —in fact, the town of Shreveport, La., was named inhis honor. Shreve's early voyage to New Orleans and back was as epoch-making inits setting as was Fulton's earlier voyage in the Clermont up and down the Hudson. That the Enterprize was involved in the Battle ofNew Orleans inearly 1815 has only enhanced her fame. But the details of this event have given rise to a legend which, since itglorifies Captain Shreve, plays down the remarkable performance of a proto- typical river steamboat, the Enterprize. Before setting the account straight, allow me to quote the version of these events appearing in1848, written 30- odd years after their occurrence.
