Leaving in its wake 108 years of tender loving care by its successive owners, the Dixie, Indiana’s oldest sternwheeler paddle boat, has set sail for its 2022 season of historical and twilight cruises around Webster Lake. The current 76-foot vessel is The Dixie’s second incarnation. The first was built by 21-year-old steamboat pilot Joseph Breeck in 1914.
