My collection of boarding passes and advertisements for the Poe and Georgetown steamboats lacks richness and volume. The sad number is doleful four. The scanned images of these mementos have been loaded on the page entitled Steamboat Memorabilia.
One recently acquired boarding pass for cabin passage on the steamer Yorktown was dated 1868 for passage from St Louis to Ft Benton; a boarding pass for the steamer Mollie Ebert after the packet was sold by Capt George W Ebert is circa 1874; a boarding pass for the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati Packet Line dated 1900 was signed on the reverse by T Poe (Theodore Cochran Poe of Georgetown, PA who managed a wharf boat in Pittsburgh); and one advertisement for the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati Packet Line was dated 1896 based on the packets listed in the pool of steamers.
Have a look. Steamboat Memorabilia.
