EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era on the Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri. Taken circa 1974, it showcases a group of dedicated bartenders hard at work on a showboat, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of late afternoon sunlight streaming through the window behind them. Dressed in crisp white vests, these skilled workers expertly serve patrons with an array of beverages from behind an intricately designed wooden bar. The air is thick with nostalgia as smoke curls upwards from ashtrays scattered across the counter. In this moment frozen in time, one can almost hear the lively conversations and clinking glasses that filled this bustling riverboat. The bartender's afro hairstyles reflect both their individuality and cultural pride, while also highlighting their African American heritage. A cash register sits prominently on display nearby, symbolizing the importance of commerce even amidst such vibrant entertainment. This photograph is part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection - a treasure trove capturing moments from America's past. It serves as a reminder not only of the rich history associated with steamboats and showboats but also pays homage to those who worked tirelessly to provide exceptional service aboard these floating spectacles. With its timeless charm and evocative details, this image transports viewers back to an era when riverboats were synonymous with excitement and adventure along America's great waterways.
