St. Charles, Missouri
St. Charles is a city in, and the county seat of, St. Charles County, Missouri, United States. The population was 65,794 at the 2010 census, making St. Charles the ninth-largest city in Missouri. It lies to the northwest of St. Louis, Missouri on the Missouri River.
Founded in about 1769 as Les Petites Côtes, or "The Little Hills" in French, by Louis Blanchette, a French-Canadian fur trader, when the area was nominally ruled by Spain following the Seven Years' War, it is the third-oldest city in Missouri. For a time, it played a significant role in the United States' westward expansion.
It was settled primarily by French-speaking colonists from Canada in its early days and was considered the last "civilized" stop by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1804, which was exploring the western territory after the United States made the Louisiana Purchase. The city served as the first Missouri capital from 1821 to 1826, and is the site of the Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne shrine.
St. Charles (ship)
St. Charles was a small, screw-driven steamboat that serviced the upper Peace River, from 1903 to 1914. She was built from local timber for Brothers of the Oblate Order of Mary Immaculate, using engines and other fittings brought from Peterborough, Ontario. She was the first steamboat on the upper Peace River. She was sold in 1911 to Ford and Lawrence. According to Edward L. Affleck, St. Charles was one of a "fleet of pint-sized vessels" the Order operated, so they would not have to rely on the Hudson's Bay Company's monopoly on river shipping.
The Peace River has two long navigable sections, from the mouth on Lake Athabasca to the Vermilion Chutes, and on the upper river, from Fort Vermilion to Hudson's Hope—a distance of 526 miles (847 km).St Charles was confined to the upper reaches.

Lookin' like a dragon princess
She was walkin', walkin' by the river
Rollin' in a rhythm of love
I never felt like this before
I'll never stop, I just want more
Oh, St. Charles sings, sings about love
St. Charles, tell me tonight
Won't you tell me 'bout love?
You know I saw her in a dream
I was Shanghaied by her way
Hypnotized by the things she would say
In the moonlight on the water
We were like lovers in another lifetime
Is it only a vision?
It feels like a prison
Just the spell of a demon
And I can't get away
Oh, St. Charles sings, sings about love
St. Charles, tell me tonight
Won't you tell me 'bout love
Please tell me 'bout love
Saw her in a dream
Please tell me 'bout love
I know I saw her in a dream
Dream

Another time, another world of people dancin' in rhyme
Dance in the air, six-fingered webbed, fair as the air
She is the storm bringer, yeah
Storm changer, yeah
Tie yourself down to the main mast
Tie yourself down to the main mast
Like Ulysses in the water storm
Winds comin' down the main line
Tie yourself down to the main mast
Tie it down with love
Tie it down with love
Don't you feel it comin' stormin'?
I feel it coming stormin'
I can feel it now, stormin'
Don't you feel it comin' stormin'?
