Here is a link to a night photo of the Island Queen in 1929 at Louisville.
Looks kind of ghostly in the fog. The photo is in the Denver Public Library collection.

Interesting photo

Thanks for posting that link. First of all, how did you find it? Secondly, I wonder how that picture ended up in the Denver library? You never know where you'll find a gem...

Thanks Jim. That IS a dandy image of the ISLAND QUEEN here at Louisville. In the background (alongside the IQ) is the excursion steamer AMERICA, formerly the INDIANA, built at Howard's in 1900. Like the IQ, the AMERICA, too, was destroyed by fire.
