S3:E173 | Capt. Lee Hendrix (Ret.) | River Man
Episode 173
Tuesday, 16 December, 2025
Born in 1949 in poverty, Capt. Lee Hendrix stumbled into the industry and found himself on a grand adventure that spanned a great many years. We hear about his early life growing up in St. Louis, his first boat, the M/V HAVANA ZEPHYR (now the mighty MERLIN BANTA), the good old days, the ill-fated steamer AMERICAN QUEEN, and the Army Corps' M/V MISSISSIPPI. His wealth of experience and connections is unmatched.
