And on this date 28 years later, an all-day boat excursion to Rock Springs Park was planned for Ambridge Senior and Junior High school students. “It was announced today when tickets were put on sale in the two schools. The schools have chosen the large sidewheel steamer St. Paul for the event. She is scheduled to leave the American Bridge Company wharf at 10 a.m. with her cargo of students and teachers. Captains Fred Way, Sewickley and William Pollock, Beaver, are in charge of the boat.”
