The whistle on my boat I bought on ebay for lack of anyone local who had one for sale. After I bought it I found out it was being sold for a 90 plus year old man who got it from a friend of his when they were kids. It seems the old guys' nick name was "Steamboat" and he could make a sound that was just like a steamboat rounding the bend. The name stuck his whole life and his family was so thrilled when the found out "Steamboats" whistle was going to be used on a real steamboat! The old guys friend got the whistle by swimming out to a steamer wreck on the Missouri River ( I think around Kansas) and wrenched it off the hulk. "Steamboat" wanted it and he traded something he had to get it. The whistle is a 6-7 inch tall bell, 3 chime whistle made by Lunkenhiemer. When I found out the story about that whistle I decided right then and there that there was not enough tea in china to get me to part with it! The whistle I had on the boat the night I blew it out at the farm was just a single chime whistle about 6-7 inces tall at the bell, but it sounds great also! If anyone knows of "Steamboat" or his family, I had lost their phone number. I was going to send them a tape of the old whistle going off as they never heard it go all those years. All I can remember is that they lived somewhere in Kansas.I would sure appreciate it if someone knows them.
