I have photos of the Island Queen fire, taken by my uncle. I need to find them, but In the meantime, attached are a couple of photos of operating sternwheeler s on the Allegheny River in 1956-58.

This is another one of Fred's wild diversions… This is essentially for our man in Della-wear but there may be others beside Dwight and I who are into river boats.
But if you are from Pittsburgh, this may appeal to you. I remember seeing a deck chair laying on one of the nearby streets the evening of the fire as testimony to the fierce explosion. Funny what you remember when you are seven years old!
