Closeup of a panel on an interpretive historical sign on Expedition Island in Green River, Wyoming. This is the year the craft started being used. At first it was a gasoline-powered sternwheeler. About a year later it was converted to a propeller propulsion boat. It was used for pleasure excursions up and down the Green from Island Park in 1908. In 1909, on a trip to Big Piney, it sheared its propeller and was grounded in Big Piney. It was later sold, taken up to be used on Fremont Lake, and refurbished, where it served giving pleasure boat rides for a number more years. |
