Title: Riverfront Old Pix Levee Flood 1903
Date: 1950-02-19, 1950-02-19
Description: The Levee in the flood of 1903. As the river rose the wharf boats were nudged up the Levee as much as 50 feet from their accustomed position but even such a maneuver left their gangplanks in a couple of water if the flood rose above the railroad tracks.. River traffic went on in high water or low; in fact, the old Spread Eagle had to carry all the St. Louis mail for several days in the 1903 flood when... railroads were drowned out on the North Side and in East St. Louis. One of the major floods of St. Louis history was in 1903 when the widening Mississippi nudged boats as much as 50 feet up onto levee. This view, south from the Eads Bridge, shows some of the gangplanks under water. One, however, extended to dry land under the Terminal's elevated tracks. It was for the steamer Spread Eagle which carried all the St. Louis mail when flood put railroads under water on both sides of river.
