Deck on Deck: Towboating in the Twin Cities

Let Bob Deck entertain and enlighten you with his stories about working on a towboat on the busy river in the 1970s and 1980s. He'll put you in the shoes of a Mississippi River deckhand.

“From practical jokes among the men to the beauty of lights shining on the water at night, Deck captures the spirit of work the rest of us rarely see.”

Mary Ann Grossman
St. Paul Pioneer Press

“Like Mark Twain and George Merrick before him — Deck paints a vivid and nostalgic portrait of a working life on the river.”

Mike Mosedale
reporter and river nut
