we learned something new today. Carpetbagger was in charge of the Hog Scraper.

WHOOP WHOOP 491K Subcribers AMAZING !!!!!!!! Not far to go Mate Please help Jacob continue his wonderful work and join the Bagger's !!!!!

Jacob, you can take a riverboat dinner cruise in New Orleans. They take you a few miles up river and back while you eat. They have jazz bands perform

Traditionally, a ship had 3 or more masts while boats had fewer, however, since modern vessels don't use masts anymore, the difference is more along the line of size.

I live about 15 minutes away from Dubuque! I’m so happy you came to visit the Mississippi River Museum! It’s a great museum and Dubuque is rich in history. I hope you had a great time! Thank you for visiting and showing what a beautiful city it truly is.

Thank you have George enjoy the ride with you down the river of the Mississippi

That lady demonstrating the different windmills was adorable, love it

You've got some glorious weather today. Absolutely loving this tour of the Mississippi.

This is great. I dig the whole romance of the Mississippi River, paddlewheelers, and all of that, largely due to Mark Twain. That museum looks awesome and I'm looking forward to when you get down to Hannibal!

Yay Carpetbagger just posted! I await your videos everyday just to see what new place you're checking out. I love watching them as much as you love visiting these locations.

He's very light on his feet! Jacob can sing, too!

Great video, Jacob. Very cool, looking forward to the next. Take care, my friend, and safe travels as always.

Loving this series! The incline car is so cool. The windmill museum lady was very nice, I liked how she used a portable fan to demonstrate the mill model. Such a gorgeous day!

This was one of the first museums I remember visiting as a kid, thanks for doing a modern walkthrough nearly two decades later!

I live in Dubuque. My kids love going to museum.

The bullets were actually balls. The dropping from that height made the spheres perfect.

The lady and the turtle shell! 😅😅😅 Never too late for a beaver lodge! Train at the end caused a weird audio glitch with the camera.

The beautiful Mississippi River 😊

I'm absolutely loving this road trip, so interesting and lots of fun, thank you.

This has been a great tour ! I was on Mississippi Queen back in the 80s ! But I'm really enjoying This tour !

That was the cutest sting ray ive ever seen. Your barge skills are very good Jacob. thank you always cool to see new places new adventures

Good morning Jacob thank you

Hi Jacob 👋🏽 this is really interesting and informative. Thank You for inviting me to watch your video. Enjoy your day ‼️🙋🏽

Boats typically are inland vessels and ships are multiple sail or engine ocean fairing vessels

What an awesome museum! The sting ray was adorable. ♥♥♥ I love all the nature and figures they brought in. The story about Mark Twain's name was very interesting, and the bullet tower was fascinating as well. Thank you for all the joy you bring!

Have a great trip, Jacob ❤️

I am loving this trip down the Mississippi River. Looking toward to the next few days videos.

Where the captain commands and steers the ship is called the BRIDGE

Really enjoyed the first installment of this trip.

I’ve followed your channel for so many years. Wild you were here

I meant "fish," not "fist." Thanks for taking us to this fantastic museum. They used to have a muscle shell button factory in Metropolis, Illinois.

I enjoy the vignettes of your restaurant meals! More please!

Checking up on your MISS RIVER videos and they are absoulutely beautiful. You never realize how beautiful it is along the Mississippi while driving it. And your new cameras captures video so well. 😊

Yeah, here I am chillin'-just sitting on a fish-too funny-great video, thanks!

I remember going to the National Mississippi River Museum as a kid. And I've been going there a lot with my family.

At 23:40...am I the only one who sometimes gets distracted by the background folks? Like this guy who wanders up the stairs only to, still looking lost, wander down the other side? :D

Bridger was among the first European men to explore the natural wonders of the Yellowstone region. In the fall of 1824, Bridger explored the Great Salt Lake region, reaching it by bull boat. He was one of the first European people to explore Yellowstone's springs and geysers.

Love the pickers show. Watch the reruns all the time.

Wow, what an incredible video. The content was so amazing Jacob. Keep up your wonderful work. My wife and I really enjoy your journey. This has been one of our favorites so far.

I heard they need one more syllable in the Smokey Bear song so added the word "the". Thank you for spreading the word that his actual name is Smokey Bear. Only you can prevent forest fires and spread the information of his correct name. 😃

Its a great place to live

Vessels intended for navigation of coastal and inland waters are generally called boats, while ocean-going vessels are generally called ships.

Been loving all the trains we've seen on this trip. Guessing many more to come too as there must be lines that run along the entire river.

Yay I’m early! Good morning Jacob and everyone, another fun day on the Mississippi River road trip 🙂

Jacob is in a good mood for this one! What great museum and one of your best videos!

I am really enjoying this series. I grew up near Alton and saw and rode the Delta Queen many times in its heyday (including meeting Pres. Carter). Last word is it is docked in Louisiana in poor shape but may be revived. Riding the Kampsville Ferry was also a fond memory. Looking forward to the next episode!

A very interesting trip 😊 safe travels!

You’re doing great Jacob. Loving take this trip with you

Excellent video today 🌟 A River boat museum, A cool railway ride, and a windmill museum all in the same day 🙌🤩💖 In answer to the question posed in the restaurant...it would definitely be Jaws every time for me 🦈😹 As always, Thank You for finding such awesome sights along Your way Jacob 🙏💝😻♾️

Here in southernmost Illinois, we call it "hoggin'" catfish. My grandfather and his brothers used to do that. They would run their fist into the mouth of the catfish and then hurl the fist onto the shore. Grandfather said it was sure good eating with hush puppies on the side.

I walked right past you at the Mississippi Aquarium n Museum! I was scared to say hi. I've watched you for the last year n a half. I also couldn't tell if you were recording and I didn't wanna accidently mess up a recording. But it was awesome to see you!

There is a nice river boat tour the wife and I took some years ago in Hannibal, MO. A perfect place to do so.

So cool seeing you go into the store from American pickers. I use to watch it all the time. They came to my town here in Vernon my brother got to meet them and he got pictures with them. I love when you go on these road trips I love getting to watch your videos every day.

This has been an amazing trip so far looking forward to the rest

I really enjoyed this video. The views and the American pickers store. Very relaxing

Very cool adventure! I love windmills And lighthouses. Two of my favorites things.

Loving this road trip! Seeing lots of new places! Great as always Mr. Carpetbagger

Crushed penny tip: Save any pre-1982 pennies you come across and use those. In late 1982 pennies went from 95% copper to 97.5% zinc. Zinc can get a white powdery coating over time, especially in humid environments. Safe travels!

Many Penny crushers are preloaded now I think because most people don’t have pennies with them

Creole Queen is in New Orleans. You can ride on it and it even has a buffet style meal you can get. Ive done it a few times and is a nice slow paced relaxing experience.

Catfish Gonads is my favorite jazz singer.

Was just in dubuque in August The museum and aquarium was absolutely amazing

I would have loved it if the American Pickers came out to say hi, was a big fan of that show. Really enjoyable and interesting video.

I was thinking to myself when you started this trip, “I wonder if he’ll swing by Antique Archeology and you did! I actually said yea!” LOL Too bad Danielle and/or Mike weren’t around.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful journey!!

A ship can hold a boat but, not vice versa. The "Captain's area" is called the "Wheelhouse". Loving your trip down the mighty Mississip!

That’s out of my wheelhouse

You & Jen should do a cruise on the Mississippi ❤

My Google-fu tells me a ship is generally ocean-going, while a boat travels lakes, rivers, and coastal waters. Also, the place where you control a steamboat is a "pilot house."

Put the boat into ludicrous speed Jacob

I’ve always called the steering portion of a boat/ship the “wheel house.” Not really sure if that’s the correct terminology, but have always been told that. My Grandpa who passed away quite some years ago spent over 30 years on the Ohio River working on tugboats.

OK. The shell button exhibit was pretty cool

Morning Jacob 🤓📸👍 stay awesome.

The Carpetbagger jig! I might have to try that with wooden shoes.

You and Jenn should go on the Mississippi River trip that Viking river cruises puts out. Contact them. They might even sponsor you. Take a Viking long boat cruise through the heart of the Delta by Viking River Cruises. (No I don’t work for them. But I have been on them and they are wonderful all inclusive cruising for adults only. (Over 18)

There is a paddle boat here in Galveston, Tx that takes off from Moody Gardens. Also if note is that water from the Mississippi River runs out into Galveston Bay, a former home of Pirate Jean LaFitte.

Very informative and fun; Marc T comment, epic; you really like riding animals and rides, so funny; Thanx for the smiles; happy n safe travels

I see its also the year of riding animals too

I'm usually impressed by your videos in general, but this one really takes the taco. Just absolutely jammed packed with sheer awesomeness that I don't even know where to start. Wow. Just wow.💯🤙🤙

Ive been there on a band trip and i absolutely loved ut and am dying to take my kids there

BRO I'm kinda bummed you didn't get to venture into Heritage Canyon in Fulton! Seeing re-enactments there as a kid during Dutch Days (held at the windmill) were really fun memories. If you can manage, try to stop by the first weekend of May one of these years. There are volunteer actors wandering in costume and you get to access all the buildings, church and schoolhouse in the Canyon

Dubuque is a fun town

We had the Delta Queen here in Chattanooga TN it was a resturant then it started falling apart and someone bought it and it was supposed to be restored and made where it could be taken up the river on trips!

A boat can fit on a ship

Generally ships are on the ocean and boats are smaller in land vessels and the captain is on the bridge just like in Star Trek

There’s a rail-car like that in Los Angeles, also. It’s called a funicular railroad. The one in LA is named “Angels’ Flight.”

The Fenlon, was created because the guy who lived in the house there. It took to long to walk or drive around to get home for lunch and a nap. So he created that. Neighbors started to want to ride initially it was a nickel.

So excited that you were able to make a stop in Dubuque! Generations of my family have and still live there so it is wonderful to see you visit. Love this series, thanks for all your great work!

Good Morning " YA ALL " Jacob the Carpetbagger ..!!

Omg you were in fulton yesterday. Thats were I live.

I always thought about a ship ( like a navy vessel) being bigger than a boat. A boat is much smaller, like something you go fishing in.

Awesome sauce! You stopped at American Pickers! We went to their Nashville store. The LeClaire, IA store is on our list. Thank-you! 😃

If you are near Hannibal Missouri around dinner time you can take a dinner cruise on a riverboat.

Jacob, a ship is a vessel you can live on. A boat you could not.

The difference between a boat and a ship is boats are traditionally meant for rivers and lakes, ships are meant for ocean going transit.

Just great as always..🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

24:10 I think he was about to carjack your camera 😅

O man river, that ol’ man river. Must know something , but don’t know nothing, keep on rolling, just keep on rolling along.

Yesss he did it !

I read up once that there are river cruises from Memphis or St Paul to/from New Orleans on paddle steamers, but those cost an arm and a leg

Great adventures today Jacob! Now, you're super close to a Buffalo Bill Museum. That'll be a great starting point for tomorrow! Well done!

An awesome video, Jacob! 👍👍👍👍
