Sprague built at Dubuque, Iowa's Iowa Iron Works in 1901 by Captain Peter Sprague for the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company, was the world's largest steam powered sternwheeler towboat. She was nicknamed Big Mama, and was capable of pushing 56 coal barges at once. In 1907, Sprague set a world's all-time record for towing: 60 barges of coal, weighing 67,307 tons, covering an area of 6 1⁄2 acres, and measuring 925 feet (282 m) by 312 feet (95 m). She was decommissioned as a towboat in 1948.
After decommissioning, Sprague became a museum on the Vicksburg, Mississippi, waterfront. For many years the long-running melodrama Gold in the Hills was performed there.
The boat was wrecked and burned in Vicksburg on 15 April 1974, and pieces still remain in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
A model of Sprague is in the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque, Iowa. The Friends of the Sprague organization sponsored a mural entitled The Big Mama of the Mississippi as one of the Vicksburg Riverfront Murals. It was dedicated on 23 March 2007.

Making excuses for my fallen stand
Wanting more than what is really my share
Taking more than what I can bare
I can not see, I've lost my way
Making excuses day after day
But I see Your hand, and I see Your smile
I feel Your presence at every extra mile
You call my name when I walk away
You search my heart day by day
(chorus)
Every where I go You are there
Every step I take You always show that Your care
What I don't deserve You give me more than my share
Your loving touch shows me You are always there
Wordly values seek my searching mind
Taking Your time and making it fit mine
Living how I want for others that are seeing
Hoping they will like this
I can not see, I've lost my way
Making excuses day after day
But You touch my heart, and open my eyes
You reach in and fix inside
You lift my burdens so I can walk again
You came to this earth to die for my sins
What I thought I had was nothing
What I have in Christ is more than something
I still struggle throughout His days
