Twilight Riverboat – Clinton, Iowa – 09.13.09

admin — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 23:24:15 +0000

The Twilight Riverboat passing Clinton, Iowa’s riverfront at approx 10:30am on 09.13.09. For some reason they weren’t playing it’s Calliope music. You can hear it here: http://www.steamboats.org/whistle-calliope/calliope-twilight.html

From www.steamboats.org:
The Twilight was designed by Capt. Dennis Trone (see also Julia Belle Swain) in the style of the great old passenger boats. The boat was built by Levac Shipyard in Jennings, LA, and finished by Dennis Trone in 1987 in LeClaire, IA. The construction shows how much Dennis Trone loves these wonderful boats. Unfortunately the boat isn’t run by paddlewheels but by a diesel engine and propellers.

Based in LeClaire, IA, the Twilight offers 2-day-cruises from May til October from LeClaire to Galena, IL, and return (reservations 800-331-1467).

University of Memphis Mississippi River Project

admin — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:24:51 +0000

What lies beneath the surface of the mighty Mississippi? Last summer Dr. Brian Waldron and Dr. Beatrice Magnani led a team of investigators searching for answers to the mystery of what lies beneath the surface of the Mississippi River. Does the river’s muddy water conceal hidden, as yet undiscovered faults? How does our aquifer, the source of our drinking water, interact with the Mississippi River?
