A shipwreck on the Ohio River?! On Taylor Creek, a tributary of the Ohio River in Petersburg KY. is the final resting spot of a 112 year old, 186 foot long ship. Initially a private yacht known as "The Celt", the Navy acquired the ship for patrol duty during WWI and renamed the USS Sachem. The vessel was called into duty again for WWII and renamed the USS Phenakite. Then sold to Circle Line where it circled Manhattan providing sightseeing tours of the city skyline known as the "Sightseer" and the "Circle Line V." Somewhere along the history of this vessel it was also used in an experiment by Thomas Edison and made an appearance in the Madonna video "Papa Don't Preach".

The wreck can be found on Google maps and can be accessed more or less legally by kayak. For those of you in the same boat as me, that being, no boat; the adventure is a little more "trespassy" From the Kentucky side there is a road that will take you fairly close to the wreck. Then you'll have a short trek through what is most likely private property to make it down to the water's edge. Who knows how much longer this odd piece of history will remain. So, it's worth the adventure to check out this #localgem

«We enjoyed our stay in this cozy home. Our host was good about checking in with us; communicating well. It snowed the first night we were there. We left early the next morning to explore the area, and when we returned the front and back entrances were shoveled, including the path to the garbage can and recycling bin. The neighborhood is nice with all the older homes, and historic areas. We had easy access for walking or a quick drive to restaurants, a grocery store, and other stores, as well ...

«My wife and I and our adult son and daughter had a great time here, spending two nights; we would have happily stayed longer if our schedule allowed. The bedrooms are large and the living spaces even larger! Lots of toys for young kids as well as some games. The bid red sofa was so comfortable, and the huge tv made for a great movie night. We appreciated the Christmas tree that made the living room feel festive.The kitchenette was limited, but perfectly fine for us (fridge, microwave, toaster, ...
