![]() Hello Sunday. January 23 2022 ![]() The Belle of Louisville Riverboats’ Mary M. Miller glides up and down the Ohio River year-round — thanks to its climate controlled decks.
Maybe you’ve caught a glimpse of the propeller-driven riverboat while driving across the Second Street Bridge or climbed aboard for a sightseeing or dinner cruise — but have you ever wondered about the woman those decks immortalize?
This month, 138 years ago, Mary Millicent Miller became the first woman to receive a master steamboat license after US Secretary of the Treasury, Charles J. Folger, made the decision to accept her application. Born in 1846 to a steamboat engineer at 2120 W. Main St. in the Portland neighborhood — then a major river port — Mary was immersed in life on the Ohio River, but it was a long shot to think one day she’d captain a boat herself. EVENTS

Editor’s Pick: On Tuesday I learned that Fun Tea on Bardstown Road was ranked as one of the best boba tea spots in the US. At that moment I realized, I’ve never had one.
