You can read all about the boat on the Natchez website: http://www.steamboatnatchez.com/history.html The engines were built in 1925 for a U.S Steel sternwheeler! None of that 19th Century technology! They really are compound engines! This boat was launched in 1975.
That was nice - thanks!

The engines appear to be tandem compound. I would like to know what year they were built.
