Boone No. 7 is the oldest ferry still working on the Ohio River. Built in 1937, this paddle-wheeler was first powered by steam and then converted to diesel. One of three ferry boats used at Anderson Ferry.
I found out she is still work (much to my chagrin), when they cast off her lines and pulled away from the bank, 1 hour into my painting. I had just sketched in her shape and I painted all around that waiting for her return to shore. I got about a total of about 45 minuets to paint her in.
