Good day all!
Yesterday, in route to Alton, IL I noticed a vessel parked "backwards" on the Missouri side of the Mississippi close to the Chain of Rocks Bridge.
The vessel resembles the old Belle Angeline that was moored in St. Louis some years ago. It did not have the "sidewheel" ornamentation that the Belle used to have, but looks strikingly similar.
Anyone with info on this mystery?

Kevin, I spotted this "boat" last month. I sent a picture to Travis V. and he promptly identified it as a structure built on a barge. He knew a lot about the history and relayed what he knew by email. Send me an email and I will Forward the info to you. Check my name and get the address.
