When the mv. Rivers Wilson arrived at Master Marine in Bayou La Batre, Ala., in August of last year, the towboat already had a long history to its name, or in this case, names. The twin-screw towboat, owned since 2017 by Rock Ridge Investments, was built in 1958 by Nashville Bridge Company. St. Louis-based Inland Oil & Transport Company named the vessel the Lady Rose-Mary and owned it for about 37 years. The vessel was sold to Mem-co Barge Line in 1995 and renamed the mv. Paula K. Harelson. Three years later, Johnson Towing Corporation bought and renamed it the mv. Sarah Nicole. New Orleans-based Turn Services bought the vessel in 2006 and renamed it the Secretariat, after the famous racehorse that won the Triple Crown in 1973. Then, Grifco bought the vessel in 2009 and renamed it the mv. Clay Griffin. Genesis Marine acquired the Clay Griffin in 2011 but did not change the name, according to the Inland River Record. Rock Ridge Investments bought and renamed the vessel in 2017. |
