HISTORY

Belle of Louisville is a
steamboat owned and operated by the city of Louisville,
Kentucky, and moored at its downtown wharf next to the
Riverfront Plaza/Belvedere during its annual operational
period. Originally named Idlewild, she was built by James
Rees & Sons Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for the
West Memphis Packet Company in 1914 and was first put into
service on the Allegheny River. Constructed with an
all-steel superstructure and asphalt main deck, the
steamboat is said to hold the all-time record in her class
for miles traveled, years in operation, and places visited.
Belle of Louisville’s offices are aboard Mayor Andrew
Broaddus, also a National Historic Landmark.

HISTORY

Steamer North American was a Great Lakes steamship built by the Great Lakes Engineering Works at Ecorse, Michigan, in 1913 for the Chicago, Duluth & Georgian Bay Transit Company. The vessel was launched on January 16, 1913, and was the older of two near-sister ships, the newer one being SS South American.

In 1963, North American was sold to the Canadian Holiday Company of Erie, Pennsylvania. The company used her in cross-lake service between Erie and Port Dover, Ontario, Canada, for one year until she was retired in 1964. After being retired from service, North American was involved in purchasing deals of uncertain nature, and was finally sold at public auction to the Seafarers International Union of North America in 1967 for use as a training ship at Piney Point, Maryland.

While North American was in the North Atlantic Ocean under tow to Piney Point, she unexpectedly sank off Massachusetts on September 4, 1967, 25 nautical miles (29 miles; 46 km) northeast of Nantucket Light.

In July 2006, a research team aboard Quest Marine’s research vessel Quest located the North American close to the edge of the continental shelf, approximately 140 miles (230 km) off the New England coast in 250 feet (76 m) of water.
