| 摘要： | Humid temperatures in the 90s didn't stop a crowd of about 100 people from attending a long-delayed double towboat christening June 12 in Evansville, a small town on the Kaskaskia River in southern Illinois.The 325-mile-long Kaskaskia River, with its one lock where it joins the Mississippi River, has become an evermore-important artery for cargoes including grain, fertilizer, steel and limestone, having been energetically promoted and developed by the Lower Kaskaskia Stakeholders Inc.The attendees were friends, co-workers and family members of the two boats' namesakes, Karl E. Johnson and Patricia Arbeiter, whom they were there to honor at the Waterstreet Bar and Grill on the Kaskaskia riverfront. The two boats were both built for Southern Illinois Transfer Inc. by sister company Barbour JB Shipyard, where the boat building crew of eight worked in a 30,000-square-foot, temperature-and humidity-controlled warehouse at KRPD 2 (Kaskaskia River Public Dock 2). They are the third and fourth boats the company has built. The first, delivered in 2016, was the David J. Bangert, a 55-foot, 1,320 hp. vessel. The second was the Kaskaskia Warrior. |
