Hello from East Liverpool. I am hoping somebody out there has a photo of the Grand Republic they could share on here. I am coming up empty trying to find one. Any help would be great.

Have you looked on the UW LaCrosse Murphy Library site? They'll have some. I have some, but I'm not at home now to access them.

That didn't quite get it. In fact it took a lot of clicking to finally bring up those pictures. I did 2 renderings of the Great/Grand Republic, one in a large mural and the other a pencil sketch. It was not considered a very picturesque boat, but compared to today's riverboats, it was as curvacious as a swan. The interior was over the top with frou frou, of course.
