Some river aficionados might recognize Emerson W. Gould as a 19th century river historian, but few realize that he had an active river career as well. In 1848 Gould was one of the five organizers of the Naples Packet Co. and in 1853 he advocated iron hulls for boats, preceding both William Hopkins and James Eads.
