Principal Ocklawaha River Steamboats

1860-1920

Photos found at State Archives Of Florida, Florida Memory Project





The Steamers who travled the St. Johns.

I am listing first the steamers I believe to have ties to Palatka. 
The second table will be for Steamers I believe at least stoped off in Palatka.
I am sure this list will never be complete. But I will list what I find.
