Handsome W. W. excursion boat launched in Rock Island
The W. W., a new up to date excursion steamer owned by Acme Packet Company of Rock Island, was launched and placed in service. It is a companion vessel to the J. S. and will likely reach La Crosse within six weeks for summer trips. The boat features three decks, elegant interiors, modern electrical systems, ample crew quarters, a piano, dining area, and 1000 life preservers. Captain Steckfus piloted her from Paducah to St Louis, with a minor delay due to life preserver delivery.
