Visit the USS LST (Landing Ship, Tank) 393 in picturesque Muskegon, Michigan. While in service during World War II, this imposing amphibious vessel participated in operations at Sicily and Salerno, Italy, and most notably the pivotal D-Day invasion at Normandy, France. The USS LST 393 made, all told, 30 roundtrips at Omaha Beach, delivering crucial equipment and supplies and returning with human cargo – prisoners and the wounded. She is one of but two such tanks out of more than 1,000 to survive in her original configuration. Walking her decks and exploring her spaces takes veterans and civilians alike into the time and place of a national crisis from which the bold and the brave arose and conquered. After American liberty had been secured, the enormous ship continued her service in the early 1950s as the MV Highway 16, shipping Michigan’s most plentiful commodity – automobiles – across the Great Lakes on their way west. She carries only stories now, and this decorated freedom fighter is ready to share her sagas. Each spring, the Rolling Thunder Michigan Chapter 4 veterans’ support group sponsors a huge two-day celebration on the lakefront, with live jazz, a throwback air show, a pin-up expo, swing dancing, costumed re-enactors, weapons, artifacts and more. The museum is closed for the season, and will reopen on May 2. Don’t miss your chance to visit on an included tour on select Victory Cruise Lines voyages.

    Brand New Mississippi Sternwheeler from American Cruise Lines

    Brand New Mississippi Sternwheeler from American Cruise Lines Guilford, CT - American Cruise Lines has announced it is expanding to the Mississippi River system with a brand new sternwheeler, already under construction at Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Salisbury, MD. It plans to operate the new riverboat on routes similar to those formerly run by Delta Queen Steamboat Company, which will include the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and Cumberland Rivers. Cruising the Mississippi River on a sternwheeler is a true all-American experience that American Cruise Lines is pleased to bring back. The new paddlewheeler will recreate the grandeur of past riverboats while possessing the latest safety, environmental and construction technologies. The ship will have the look of a traditional riverboat along with more amenities, a faster speed, and an unmatched level of comfort. Features include six unique lounges, a library, an elegant dining salon, elevator service to all decks, and the exceptionally large staterooms found on all American Cruise Lines ships. With only 140 passengers, each guest will receive personalized service in the intimate and friendly atmosphere for which American Cruise Lines has become known. The first cruise is a scheduled to depart August 11, 2012 from New Orleans, Louisiana on a 7-night journey up the Mississippi to Memphis, Tennessee.

As on all true riverboats, a stage and bow ramp will give the ship access to the many interesting ports without docking facilities.

    Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society Meetings Are Now Held on the First Monday of the Even Numbered Months of the Year

    GREATER JEFFERSONTOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER December 2015 Vol. 13 Number 6 December 2015 Meeting The December meeting will be held Monday, December 7, 2015. We will meet at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Jeffersontown Library at 10635 Watterson Trail. The speaker will be Robert Prather who is going to tell us about The Strange Case of Jonathan Swift and the Real Long John Silver. Swift was a miner in the 1700s and is said to have owned the largest mansion in Alexandria, Virginia. Was the mine in Kentucky or Virginia or Tennessee? Some traditions say it is/was in Kentucky. What is the true identity of the mysterious silver miner? Sources of information provided in Kentucky history books were generally attained through verbal accounts; therefore, no written verifiable description has ever been provided to disclose the miner’s full identity. Mr. Prather says that the identity of the mysterious silver miner is revealed in his book. The author also states, “As with all folk stories and legends, only basic information regarding any particular story is passed on by verbal accounts and in most instances the stories have been embellished and altered from one telling to the next.” Swift’s mining activities took place during the late 1700’s, so how much truth has survived? The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. February, 2016 Meeting As part of Black History Month along with the Jeffersontown Branch Library we will have a program presented by local author, Carridder Jones, “Voices from Historical African American Communities Near Louisville, Kentucky.” October Meeting Kadie Engstrom, Education Coordinator for the Belle of Louisville, has worked with the historic steamboat Belle of Louisville in several capacities since 1972, and has been Education Coordinator since 1992.

  • Belle of Louisville History Facts

    Belle of Louisville History Facts

    Belle of Louisville History Facts Kadie Engstrom, Education Coordinator (502) 574-2992 1) She was built as the Idlewild in 1914, Pittsburgh, PA. 2) She operated first as a ferry and day packet (freight) vessel, and was also outfitted for excursion trade. 3) She served as a ferry for two years, and ran packet and excursion trade for another decade. By the early 1930s, packet work was nearly gone, so the Idlewild ran excursion cruises from then on. 4) During WW II, she was outfitted with tow knees, equipment that allowed her to tow oil barges on the Mississippi River to help the war effort. The Idlewild also served as a USO station in different river ports on the Mississippi. 5) Because of a 1947 deathbed wish of her Master at the time, her name was changed to the Avalon in 1948. 6) In 1949, she was sold to a group of investors from Cincinnati who ran the Avalon as a tramp steamer. She went from town to town along the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio River systems offering short excursion cruises and then moving on. 7) During the next 12 years, and with only a 5’ draft, the Avalon became the most widely-traveled river steamer of her size in the country, running on every navigable waterway from the Missouri River to the East Coast. 8) In the fall of 1961, the Avalon was in such deplorable shape her owners were unwilling to spend the money for necessary repairs and refurbishing; so she was taken out of service at Cincinnati and was scheduled for demolition.
