In this issue of PowerShips, we take "Another Look at the Great Race Between the Natchez and the Robert E. Lee." Steamboat historian Jerry Canavit presents an in-depth report of one of the most famous races between two steamships. There have been differing accounts of the race through the years, and Canavit cites them as well as argues for the most likely scenarios. He describes the ships in detail, the preparations for the race by the ships, and the times for each stop during the race. You'll have to read the article to know who won.
