📬 Postcard from Old Florida (circa 1905) 🚤

This vintage postcard captures the steamer “Fred’k De Bary” traveling along the St. Johns River—a time when Florida’s waterways were the primary way to move people and goods across the state.

Before roads and railways took over, steamboats like this connected communities and helped shape Florida’s early growth—all powered by the same rivers we manage today.

💡 Then vs. Now:
These historic waterways once carried passengers and cargo—today, they support water supply, flood protection, and thriving ecosystems.

A glimpse into the past… on a river that still tells Florida’s story.

💞It’s a new baby manatee!💞
Exciting News! Manatee “Jaden” was recently seen with a tiny new calf near Holly Bluff Resort Marina. 🎉
Jaden is a known manatee who winters at Blue Spring State Park and researchers from Save the Manatee Club were able to identify her by her scars. Jaden is an experienced mother, but was badly injured a few years ago from a watercraft collision where she lost a large portion of her tail.
🚤Please be careful when boating and always watch out for manatees!
🕶 Wear polarized sunglasses, have a designated spotter and slow down in manatee zones and shallow areas. If you see a manatee, observe from a distance and give mothers and calves extra space.
