| 摘要： | For this special Wheelhouse issue of The Wateways Journal we will look at two important "firsts" that changed the lives of pilots for the better. In late 1929, the Howard Ship Yard & Dock Company, Jefferson-ville, Ind., launched a steel hull for a sternwheel steam towboat that would create a lot of attention. The boat, named Wm. Larimer Jones, was for the Vesta Coal Company, a subsidiary of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Co., Pittsburgh, and was 136 feet by 34 feet. It had compound condensing engines that were 14s, 28s - 8 foot stroke built by the Frisbie Engine and Machine Company, Cincinnati, and rated at 800 hp. It was fitted with one Nelis steam generator, 100 degree superheat. |
