I collect postcards of my hometown, Henderson, Kentucky, which is on the 
Ohio. I have several cards with
steamboats pictured and, for the most part, I can read the boats' names.

I'd like to get background on these boats, but I've had little luck. I 
stayed on steamboats.com for several hours today, but no luck (couldn't even 
get registered to post a question). FWIW, the cards I have feature the 
Louisiana, the Percy Swain, and one that has something that looks like 
Swallow & Markle (with the Antoinette alongside).

Does anyone know of another online site that I can use or of a book to 
suggest?

Thanks for any help.
