Captain William F. and Betty Streckfus Carroll Collection Photographs
The photographs of the William F. and Betty Streckfus Carroll Collection are mostly of the boats, people and businesses of the Streckfus Steamers Company, although photographs of other vessels and river personalities can also be found. A finding aid to the full collection, including the photographs, is available.
THE STEAMER CAPITOL is shown as it appeared in 1935, gaily lighted for the American Legion national convention here. The veteran excursion boat is now being dismantled.
N. O. left dock 10:30 Oct 15 1928. Laid up Louisiana Ave for repairs. Note this shows how boat is looking outside of ferry dock. Her stern is in much closer to dock than Capitol last season.
