THE OLD "MOBILE LANDING," HEAD OF THE BASIN IN NEW ORLEANS *By Charles Pat ton Dimilry, * The Louisiana Historical Quarterly, Volume 3, P131. Within the past fifty years the vicinity of the head of the basin of the New Canal, on South Rampart street, between Julia and Howard avenue, has undergone many changes, both as regards its conditions as a centre of trade and its nomenclature. For years Howard Avenue was known as Triton Walk, a peculiar designation for a street which was on a par with the neighboring street nomenclature which included such incongruities as Nayades, Dryades (still surviving), etc. The street passing in front of the Basin was Circus street, now South Rampart. Then came another change of the name of the square between Triton Walk and Julia street, and the space was called the Mobile Landing, because of the landing there of steamboats from Mobile, which, prior to the days of the Louisiville and Nashville railroad, landed there. It is of this once important and interesting district of New Orleans that I now will proceed to write.

If you don't get an answer here I'd suggest contacting Norm Hellmers at LAORLEAN@RootsWeb.com If anyone would know, Norm would.
