  If that is above Kampsville that may be the old Goldenrod showboat. From Saint Louis riverfront

  It IS the Goldenrod Showboat. She is in a field near Kampsville and has broken her back. The hull is folding midship. The historians are removing everything of historic value before she is scrapped. She was the oldest showboat in the world (having been built in 1909) in the world and stopped operating in 1999. She was almost brought back when the river ran out on her and she snapped her hull.
