[QUOTE="archinstl, post: 276465, member: 9575"] This is actually the remains of the sternwheel steamer [i]Betsy Ann[/i], a very famous boat. She was converted into a dock before WWII by the Meramec Power Boat Club. Her pilot wheel is in the Steamboat Museum at Bee Tree park. More information is a bit down this page: https://www.cincinnativiews.net/steam_boats_2.htm I was just down at Possum Woods Park, which is directly across from the derelict; quite a bit is visible, due to the low water. Access can also be gotten by descending the steep bank at the intersection of Soccer Park Road and Yarnell Road, on the West side of the river. [/QUOTE]
