Old Sternwheeler Hits River Island

The Golden Eagle sternwheeler struck a river island near Grand Tower Illinois. Coast guard credited water tight bulkheads with saving 91 aboard including 44 passengers who reached shore safely. Captain E Nathan Smith said steering gear failure led to the accident and little hope remains for saving the boat. Miss Marga Sachse of St. Louis described a sudden jar and lurch as the ship listed. The vessel, a veteran river packet, survived a 1941 accident near Chester Illinois and was refloated after owners abandoned it.
