| Graceful Ghost Steamboat - Author's Picture |
The picture shows the bow of the Graceful Ghost steamboat, formerly of Uncertain, Texas. Its port was later in Karnack, Texas. I rode on this old boat a few years back; we took a short tour of Caddo Lake, near Jefferson, TX. It was a step back in time, but I was there in the summer and it was way too hot. I had never seen a real steamboat, just old pictures. At the time of this posting, I believe, the boat is no longer in operation by the people who owned it when I was there. I enjoyed the ride, and I enjoyed the trip to Jefferson, too. If I'm not mistaken (hearsay), someone told me this boat dates back to 1912.
