NO. 3 HIGHEST DRAW BRIDGE IN THE WORLD ST. JOE RIVER ST MARIES IDAHO. Date: 1912 Source Type: Postcard Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Wesley Andrews (#3) Postmark: None Collection: Steven R. Shook Remark: The was the largest of many steamboats to ply the waters of Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho and operated from 1890 to 1927. Built by Peter Christian Sorensen and Johnson, this excursion vessel was razed on July 4, 1927, as part of a July 4th celebration. According to the book Steamboats in the Timber, "In 1890 the old steamer Coeur d'Alene, which could haul but fifty tons of ore, was abandoned and part of her cabins and superstructure placed on a new hull with a carrying capacity of one hundred tons, built by Sorenson and Johnson on Sanders Beach. This new stern-wheeler, the Georgie Oakes - named after a daughter of the president of the Northern Pacific Railroad - was put on the Coeur d'Alene's old run to the Mission, and for a short time hauled out prodigious quantities of ore from the Coeur d'Alene mining region."
