Built Memphis, Tenn. 1914 length, 157 ft. 260 tons. Of four passenger steamboats still plying the Mississippi System, three are day excursion boats. The Avalon, though the smallest, most nearly resembles her many ancestors on these waters. She is a two-deck, twin-stack, sternwheel boat and had, until a recent modernization, the coal-fired return-flue boilers of western river tradition. Also, she is a tramp excursion boat - one which migrates from port to port along the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, and lesser streams, offering anything from a one-night stand to a weel daytime and moonlight excursions. Her career has been versatile in the extreme. Originally built as a ferryboat Idlewild, she ran across the Mississippi at Memphis. Later she served as a packet and as a towboat before settling down to excursion work. Her current owners renamed her Avalon in honor of a larger predecessor.
