Fred Lynch
Fred Lynch retired in 2018 after capturing images for the Southeast Missourian since 1975, in that time moving from black-and-white to color, from film to digital and to video. The blog title is a nod to an earlier era of news photography and the 4x5 Speed Graphic: It's more important to be there for the shot than to worry about technical details.

Steamer "Golden Eagle"

Posted Monday, February 8, 2016, at 12:00 AM

The Steamer Golden Eagle passes Cape Girardeau on the Mississippi River in this undated photo. Built in 1904 as the William Garg, it was sold to Eagle Packet Co. in 1918 and rebuilt for the St. Louis trade. The boat was renamed Golden Eagle.

In 1935, it was further modified for use in the tourist business. The Golden Eagle sank May 18, 1947 near Grand Tower Island.
