Welcome to Towboating.com!

This site is dedicated to my father, Captain Leo W. Steger who worked on the river for over 40 years.  He was General Manager at Missouri Barge Line, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri at the time of his death.

He was the best Dad, and Grandpa a child could have, with three children, and four grandchildren.

If you have stories from your days working on the river, please post them on the message board.  Any boat pictures, or other photos of your river days that you would like to share, send me the photos via email for posting.

Thanks,

Scott Steger
