Mississippi River At Cape Girardeau, Missouri
Dock Project May Increase River Tourism........
Bob Fox, Mayor of Cape Girardeau says that the city is missing the boat, quite literally, as the city lacks docking facilities along the Mississippi Riverfront. Fox said that a dock could benefit the downtown area considerably.
Fox's vision for the riverfront would include an upgraded dock for pleasure boats in the Red Star district north of downtown, as well as a larger docking facility close to the Broadway floodgate for passenger vessels and other commercial vessels.
Fox states that this project would create business and jobs. He notes that without a suitable dock along the riverfront, the city is often bypassed by some of the cruise companies cruising the Mississippi River.........

River History
....
March 07, 1934 in River History
Construction of Lock and Dam No. 15 on the Mississippi River at Rock Island, Illinois and Davenport, Iowa was completed.
Lock and Dam 15 is the largest roller dam in the world, its dam is 1,203 feet long and consists of nine 109 feet (33.2 m) non-submersible, non-overflow roller gates and two 109 feet non-submersible overflow roller gates. It is unusual among the upper Mississippi River dams in that it has only roller gates, has different sizes and types of roller gates and it is not perpendicular to the flow of the river..
Historic Riverboats
A Look Back At The Goldenrod........
John William Menke and his brother Ben were long involved in the showboat business by the time they purchased the largest showboat ever, the Goldenrod from Captain Ralph Emerson in 1922.
The Goldenrod tied up to the St. Louis levee for a two week stand in October 1937, and the shows proved to be so popular that Menke never traveled with the showboat. The mooring lines were slipped in 1947 when the aged 1909 wooden hull was placed into a steel barge at the St. Louis Shipbuilding & Steel Company.
On June 1, 1962 a devastating fire broke out aboard the Goldenrod. Captain Menke decided that the task of restoring the riverboat to be more than he wanted to handle, sop he sold the vessel to St. Louis advertising executive and riverboat enthusiast Frank Pierson........
