Belle of Louisville (Steamboat) Photographer: Philip Groshong Belle of Louisville, launched in 1914 as Idlewild from Pittsburgh, is one of only two sternwheel river passenger boats operating under steam and is the sole remaining Western Rivers day packet boat. When she was built, the boat served primarily as a ferry. In later years, she served as a day packet carrying freight and passengers, an excursion boat carrying tourists, and a towboat during the Second World War. Today, the Belle of Louisville serves as an excursion steamboat on the Ohio River in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. With its canopied pilothouse, jaunty stacks, and sternwheel, the Belle of Louisville epitomizes the majestic riverboat era on America’s western waters. http://www.belleoflouisville.org
