This sidewheel ferryboat was built in 1937 by Stanwood Corp. at Covington, Ky..
Originally steam, it was converted to a 178 hp. Cummins diesel in 1947.
It was owned by Richard Kottmyer, Constance, Ky., until 1986, when it was sold to Paul W. Anderson, Verona, Ky.
</p><p>Anderson Ferry was also known as <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.nkyviews.com/boone/boone_constance_anderson.htm">Kottmyer's Ferry</a> and has apparently been owned by either the Anderson or Kottmyer families for almost two centuries, ever since George Anderson bought the ferry from Raleigh Colston in 1817.
