Object Description
| Title | BELLE OF THE BENDS, 1898 - 1909. |
| Way Number | 531 |
| Creator | Howard, James E., 1875-1956 (photographer) |
| Description | BELLE OF THE BENDS, a side-wheel packet with wood hull (210 ft. x 32.6 ft. x 7.4 ft.), was built at Howard in 1898. Owned by Vicksburg & Greenville Packet Co., BELLE OF THE BENDS operated on the lower Mississippi River between Greenville and Vicksburg. A beautiful side-wheel packet with double stages and the grace of lower Mississippi River packets of an earlier day, she sank twice but was raised both times. After boll weevils ruined the cotton crop in 1908-09, she was converted to an excursion boat and renamed LIBERTY (Way #3455) before being dismantled in October, 1919. |
