EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Mississippi Keel boat" takes us back in time to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the world of river transportation and trade. The image showcases a majestic keelboat sailing through the waters with its impressive sails billowing in the wind. The Mississippi River, known for its vital role in American history, served as a lifeline for commerce and travel during this era. This engraving beautifully captures the essence of that time, highlighting both the ingenuity of marine engineering and navigational skills required to navigate these treacherous waters. Loaded with cargo, this keelboat was an essential mode of transportation for goods such as freight and supplies. Its unique design featured a flat bottom with a long wooden beam running along its length called a keel, which provided stability while navigating shallow rivers. Intriguingly, we see oarsmen skillfully rowing alongside the vessel, showcasing their strength and teamwork. The mast stands tall against the backdrop of lush greenery lining the riverbanks—a testament to human determination amidst nature's beauty. As we admire this historic print from Peter Newark American Pictures' private collection, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology. It also pays homage to those who braved challenging conditions on these vessels to connect communities along America's great waterways.
