That wharf boat is awesome. I'm going to make one...I think. Anyhow, Your quite right Thomas about the end run for flat boats. In New Orleans the lumber was of value. The article I read also stated that skifts and barges that were halled upstream by steamer were sunk in the lakes as they lost there usefulness. Not sure if this is because there were just so many or if the liumber it'selve became soft or rotten.
Wow I like that Wharf boat!
