The Howard Shipyard & Dock Company, Jeffersonville, Ind., as well-described in The Waterways Journal Old Boat Column now authored by Keith Norrington, was one of the most celebrated boat-building concerns on the Western Rivers. The Howards built some of the finest steam packets that ever existed, and to a lesser degree built a number of steam-powered sternwheel towboats.The Howards had also constructed several propeller-driven vessels, including the self-propelled barge INCO No. 1 in 1915. In 1920, they built the steam prop towboats Cordova and De-mopolis for the Inland Waterways Corporation, followed by the Montgomery in 1923. |
