Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: The Belle of Louisville is one of the last sternwheelers plying the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers where such craft were once a common sight. The Belle makes daily (except Monday) trips upstream from the municipal pier in Louisville. You can tell when she's ready to sail by the music of her steam-powered calliope which pipes some sing-along tunes along the riverfront.
