Mamie S. Barrett, Historic towboat in Deer Park, Vidalia, US

The Mamie S. Barrett spans 125 feet in length and 30 feet in width, featuring a steel hull with a scow bow and steam engine configuration.

Constructed in 1921 at Howard Brothers' Shipyard in Jeffersonville, Indiana, the vessel served as the flagship for Barrett Towboat and Barge Line Company.

The vessel transformed from a working towboat to a floating clubhouse at Harbor Point Yacht Club, later becoming a showboat with theater performances.

The National Register of Historic Places designation enables the vessel to receive support for preservation efforts through public and private funding sources.

During the Great Flood of 1993, flood waters carried the vessel to its final location in Deer Park, where a fire in 2017 damaged its structure.
