What is the status of the Goldenrod?

Jeffrey,
Not sure how often Jake checks in here. I made Jake aware of this thread and edited out my comments as I'm not for sure what is suppose to be made public at this time. So hopefully Jake will chime in here. All i can say is she should be going back home very soon! Thanks Wayne

I see Jake hasn't checked in here as of yet! I can say that we are currently awaiting on a marine surveyor to check the Goldenrod out for her move back to St Louis. Also the details on where she is going to be docked are being finalized. We have drawn quite a bit of attention to the Goldenrod and will continue to drive the point home that she needs to be restored and put back to providing a place for entertainment as she always has over the years. Will keep everyone up to date on whats going on in the coming weeks as she ought to be going back home here in the very near future! About all i can say for now so stay tuned 🙂

Thanks for the update

Please keep us posted as soon as you have something to report. It would be appreciated. Glad to know that things are starting to come together, from your reports.

This was on the local news this morning.

Yes, as has been reported in this thread, Steve DeBellis, a St. Louis-area entrepreneur, historian, and active participant in the Goldenrod effort, has died at the age of 59. It was unexpected.

Recent Goldenrod photos

Here are some recent photos of the Goldenrod Showboat, on the Illinois River near Kampsville. For a 105 year old vessel, and one that has been out of business for more than 10 years, it looks fairly good.
