S2:E144 | Mark Veum | Steam Engineer

Recorded on July 14, semi-retired Steam Engineer Mark Veum joins me to share memories of some previous podcast guests who'd made up a cast of characters that converged aboard the storied AMERICAN QUEEN. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and still living there today, Mark tells stories of time spent on vessels sailing the Great Lakes, some others down in the Gulf of Mexico, and a few in the passenger vessel industry cruising up and down the western rivers of the United States. We also discuss a few literary efforts of his, one upon which I may well be working with him next year. Hope you enjoy it.
