Not sure of the truth, but I remember someone telling me at the turn of the century or even before that they use run steam ships all the way up the Colorado from the Sea of Cortez to Parker prior to any dams.

That is too cool, I can't even remember when low freeboard boats like mine ruled the river.:(

True
Thats where steamboat coves name came from, they use to pull in there for shelter during monsons(sp).

The steamboats went all the way up to what's now Lake(s) Mohave and Mead. They docked at Callville and Cottonwood Cove,

If you look closely, it says "Magic" on the side, and that's Ron Moyes at the helm, and Keith Sayre at his side. :)

Pick up a book called Stories From The Arizona Coast Written by Paul Taylor.
Lots Of pics and info from Steamships to the towns up and down the river where the steamboats navigated. VERY COOL BOOK IMO.
