Lone Star (towboat)

Lone Star is a wooden hull, steam-powered stern-wheeled towboat in LeClaire, Iowa, United States.

Built in 1868, she is the oldest of three surviving steam-powered towboats, and the only one with a wooden hull.

[2][3] Lone Star has a wood frame hull 90 feet (27 m) long, with pointed bow, flat bottom and hard chine.

Lone Star was remodeled a second time in 1899 at the Kahlke Boat Yards in Rock Island, Illinois.

She was the last running and is now the last remaining intact wood hull paddlewheel boat that plied the Mississippi River.
