@doughesson YOU FAT MOTHER FOS YUR FARTS DROWNED OUT THE CALLIOPE NO DOUBT
-
@InflatablePlane Never claimed she was.I refueled that boat in Paducah Ky one time and we got most all of their breakfast because most of the passengers had opted for breakfast in town,but the purser's people didn't tell the stewards so they whomped up breakfast for everyone. When they asked us,we thought we were getting a few biscuits and some sausage in a baggie but they brought trays of pancakes,platters of sausage and ham and asked us how we wanted our eggs.One fine refuelling job.

Actually,the calliope was invented by a church musician who had to give it to his brother,an Ohio riverboat captain.PT Barnum heard one in the 1850s and recognized the advertising value of an organ which could be heard for 5 miles.

@doughesson Did not know that. O.o What a tasty nugget of history. So that's why steam calliopes were popular in the old circus days 8-) I figured if anyone would have tried it, it was P.T. Barnum :D This one is not quite as old. Delta Queen was built in the 1920's.
