TEN YEARS AGO, for the first time, three major flood-control structures-the Birds Point Levee, Morganza Spillway and Bonnet Carre Spillway-were all opened at the same time; in addition, the Corps of Engineers sank four barges into the Atchafalaya River at Bayou Chene to prevent back flooding.TWENTY YEARS AGO, the Indiana Port Commission approved closure of Southwind Maritime Center's slackwater harbor, forcing Mount Vernon Barge Service to relocate; Bollinger Shipyards delivered the 8,000 hp. Bootsie B to Riverway Company; and C&C Marine & Repair Inc. moved into a new location along the Algiers Canal. |
