Back in the 1800’s, the Colorado River was used as a major commercial waterway with steam ships traveling back and forth from the Mohave Area to where the Colorado River meets the sea at the Sea of Cortez.
These steam ships delivered much needed supplies to settlements and businesses operating along the Colorado River and they also ferried passengers, settlers and gold miners back and forth.
