| 摘要： | The maritime industry is made up of many individuals whose personalities are larger than life. Two of them passed away suddenly late last year, leaving a void in our industry and our lives. I first met Bill Dow in 1980 at a meeting in New Orleans to negotiate the purchase of two sternwheel riverboats, the Becky Thatcher and Mark Twain. This meeting marked the beginning of a 50-year friendship in the passenger vessel industry. Bill and I spoke regularly over the years. He was a remarkable man who was passionate about the passenger vessel industry. He founded the Lake George Steamboat Company in Lake George, N.Y., one of the oldest, continuously operating passenger vessel companies in the nation. Not one to sit by idly when there were boats to build and passengers to carry, Bill also founded the New Orleans Steamboat Company and built the steamboat Natchez, which still plies the Mississippi River and has become an iconic symbol of New Orleans. Those of us in the passenger vessel industry will miss Bill. |
