Rebuilt Julia Belle Swain on the Upper Mississippi in 2006

Has original steam power plant, pilot house, and calliope on a new steel hull with oil boiler.

John Hartford worked on this boat and wrote songs about it! 🙂 🎶

The JBS is currently out of service and awaiting repairs in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
