Okeehumkee
The ''Okeehumkee'', also known as "Queen of the Ocklawaha River," was a river steamboat that provided transportation along Florida rivers in the late 19th century. The ''Okeehumkee'' was equipped with a paddle wheel positioned in the lower stern part of the boat which allowed it to traverse narrow and shallow rivers. The steamboat was the longest-serving craft of its type on the Ocklawaha River route, remaining in service for 43 years. ==Description== The ''Okeehumkee'' measured long by wide,〔 and consisted of a flat-bottom hull, a lower cargo deck and two upper passenger decks. A recessed stern paddle wheel provided propulsion, powered by a wood-burning steam boiler engine. The boat was outfitted with shutters on the windows to keep tree branches out and a livestock pen at the rear of the boat, on the upper deck.〔 The ''Okeehumkee'' was alternately called ''Okeehumkee II'', ''Okahumka'', ''Okahumpka'', and ''Okeehumpkee''.
