Paddle Wheel

Ohio History
Valley Gem Paddle Wheel
I can just feel the cold water splashing up from the churning paddle wheel in this picture! The top deck of the sternwheeler gave us this view right into the wheel. It was fun to sit up there as we passed under highway bridges over the river! On the lower deck, we got to stand next to the water rushing around the boat. The Ohio River was currently seventeen feet deep, according to the captain.

That's neat how you can see water drops inside the wheel.

I like the bright red!

Nice shot! Was the paddle wheel actually moving the sternwheeler?
