NEW RICHMOND

by Jim Daviner

The Steamboat, New Richmond was a sternwheel ferry built at Cincinnati, Ohio in 1890. Owned as late as 1925 by the Maysville & Big Sandy Railroad Company, and later by the C & O Railroad Company. It provided ferry service from New Richmond, Ohio across the Ohio River and the ticket office is there to this day serving as a bar and grill. The steamboat was eventually sold to the Manchester Ohio Ferry Company and renamed E.I. Ford.
