Goldenrod, Historic showboat in Kampsville, US
The Goldenrod measures 200 feet in length and 45 feet in width, with an auditorium extending 162 feet to accommodate 1,400 spectators.
Built in 1909 by Pope Dock Company of Parkersburg for W.R. Markle, the Goldenrod operated as a theater vessel on the Mississippi River until 1962.
The vessel represents the entertainment traditions of early 20th century American river communities through theatrical performances and musical shows.
The National Park System Advisory Board recommended withdrawing the National Historic Landmark designation in August 2023 due to loss of historical integrity.
After a severe fire damaged its structure in October 2017, the remaining hull of this last Mississippi showboat was subsequently sold for scrap materials.
