The restaurant was originally a steam towboat (T1444 in Way's Steam Towboat Directory), built in 1936 by Dravo Corp. and owned by Campbell Transportation Co., Pittsburgh, Pa. It was named "John W. Hubbard" after a Pittsburgh millionaire who was financially connected to the Campbell Line. In 1947, the boat was sold to the Ohio River Co., and in 1950, it was renamed "Charles Dorrance" (T0379). In 1957, the boat was decommissioned and used as a harborboat for several years. At some point in the 1960s, the boat was sold to Capt. John Beatty, who converted it to the floating restaurant Mike Fink, named for the semi-legendary late 18th/early 19th century riverboater. The restaurant operated at Covington from 1968 until 2008, when it closed. It was moved to Newport, Kentucky, in early 2014 and, as far as I know, never reopened. ________________________
