THE STORIES THAT FLOW THROUGH HERE

A river.
A belle.
A little history.

The Suwannee has carried more than water. It has carried people, cargo, and generations of stories.

The Belle of Suwannee

Built in Branford by Captain Robert “Bob” Ivey, this two-deck sternwheeler carried passengers and freight along the Suwannee. Florida’s archives remember it as one of the river’s best-known steamboats—and a favorite with honeymooners.

Pilot Dan McQueen, who helped build the vessel while teaching in Old Town, became part of its story too.

ANOTHER BELLE, ANOTHER ERA

The Suwannee Belle

A later excursion boat bearing the name Suwannee Belle offered sightseeing and dinner cruises on the river in the late 1980s. It was a different vessel from the historic Belle of Suwannee pictured here.
