LOU188. Theo. Lilienthal, New Orleans. Interior of Steamer Frank Pargoud. This sidewheel, wooden hull packet was built in 1868 by Howard & Co., Jeffersonville, Indiana. The FRANK PARGOUD was built for John W. Tobin, of New Orleans, who was the sole owner, and it was named for Gen. Frank Pargoud, a wealthy Ouachita River planter. Originally designed for the New Orleans-Ouachita River trade, she proved too large and was placed on the New Orleans-St.Louis trade, running several trips. She subsequently ran between New Orleans-Memphis, making weekly round trips, which was an achievement for a regular packet. Later, she was moved to the New Orleans-Vicksburg trade, running two trips per week, before running steadily in the New Orleans-Fort Adams trade. G. $75

SH563. L.H. Fillmore, Whitehall, NY of the Steamer Champlain II, run aground. This is the wreck of the lake steamer “Champlain II,” which was driven up onto the rocks at “Calamity Point” (Just south of Essex, NY) by its pilot John Eldredge, who was high on morphine. An interesting tale about this event was recounted by the vessel’s other pilot, Ell Rockwell. Rockwell knew a thing or two about Lake Champlain, having worked on its waters since starting his career as a cabin boy at age 12. Following the collision, Rockwell had assisted in securing the hulk to the shoreline with heavy ropes and cables, preventing the crippled steamer from toppling off the rocks and sinking back into the lake. Passengers were roused from their cabins and brought safely ashore while crewman helped to locate their baggage. One individual, however, had seemingly been overlooked in the chaos. As Pilot Rockwell told it, he was leading a party of crewmen through a flooded corridor in search of more baggage, using axes and saws to break through the walls and bulkheads of each compartment (as the doors were nearly underwater). Upon bashing a hole into one room with an axe, Rockwell ventured inside the darkened space, only to race back moments later exclaiming “There’s a DEAD MAN in there!” The other crewmen peered inside hesitantly, and sure enough, a lifeless body lay atop the partially submerged bed, with only the victim’s nose visible above the water. The onlookers studied the dim interior and could clearly see the rocks sticking through the side of the splintered hull. Certainly this man was a goner. But, as they began to lift and move the waterlogged bed out of the way, the supposed “corpse” suddenly reanimated himself, sitting up with a splash and scaring the men half to death. According to the tale, the “dead man” was actually a young law student who had just passed his bar exams. In celebration, he had spent the previous evening in the steamer’s saloon, imbibing to the point of drunkenness before passing out in his cabin. He claimed no recollection of the crash, or of being submerged up to his nose in the Lake for hours. This comical account was said to have spread so quickly, that the young lawyer was compelled to take out an ad in newspapers on BOTH sides of Lake Champlain, proclaiming that he was not a drunk, but that he was merely a heavy sleeper.
