摘要：	Some older veteran river industry personnel, executives, aficionados and others associated with the inland marine industry (especially the upper Ohio River area) may experience a bit of deja vu when they hear the name of Marquette Transportation's new towboat, the 6,600 hp. H.E. Bowles. That's because two boats with the same name were mainstays along the upper Ohio River back in the 1960s and' 70s. However, even as uncommon as the name may be, the new powerhouse has no connection with the two previous boats with the same name, nor does the honoree. The first two boats with this name operated in the petrochemical trade along the Kanawha and upper Ohio rivers for Capt. Robert H. Bosworth and his affiliated companies out of Pt. Pleasant, W.Va.The first was an 1,800 hp., 80- by 24-foot boat built in 1956 as a single-screw vessel at Greenville, Miss., for Vest Towing Company as the Coleman D. It was converted to twin-screw two years later with the addition of another GM 12- 567 diesel. It was renamed H.E. Bowles when acquired by Bosworth s Point Towing Company in 1961.
