==Historical References On The Attraction==
[[Image:Libertynarratorsjpg|350px|thumb|Horace Bixby (left) and Samuel Clemens (right) serve as the narrators on the Liberty Square Riverboat]
 
*Sam Clemens the pilot on the Liberty Belle, is better known as American writer Mark Twain. Twain was known as a lover of steamships (specifically those on the Mississippi River) and did actually captain some steamships himself. In Disneyland, the attraction is known as the Mark Twain Riverboat.
*The Leadsman was a crew member who would call out the depth of the water, when the water got shallow. One fathom equals six feet, two fathoms equal Mark Twain (on the attraction at least)<ref> http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/marktwain.htm </ref>.
