Steamboat Industry Sees Record Year 1906 on the Ohio
A northern Ohio river survey notes 1906 as a good year for steamboat interests with more vessels on the river than in the previous dozen years. Low water limited business during holidays, but passenger traffic peaked in summer, while freight remained about on par with 1905. The advocate argues for a locks and dams system to enable year round operation and prevent tie ups from freezing, ensuring constant movement and ice control.
