Diamond Jo Uits All In Doges Season Ends with Dubuque Departure
The steamer Dubuque of the Diamond Jo line made its last trip of the season docking at Keokuk after unloading freight.

Deckhands will be sent to St. Louis and many will winter elsewhere before returning in spring. Captain William Burke, a river veteran, captained the Dubuque through a strong season marked by solid freight business and a late season cool snap duration.
