| 摘要： | When the mv. Charles Reid Perry first went to work for Marquette Transportation Company in 2019, the tow-boat's namesake was just a toddler. Perry is the grandson of John Eckstein, Marquette Transportation's executive chairman, and the son of Alix Eckstein Perry and Austin Perry. But on January 21, when the mv. Charles Reid Perry was christened in New Orleans, Perry was taking it all in, exploring his namesake vessel all the way from the wheelhouse down to its skiff on the aft deck. Perry, remarkably, marks the fifth generation of the Eckstein family to have a Marquette Transportation vessel bear his name. His great grandfather, the late Ray Eckstein, started the company in 1978, and his great uncle, the late Randy Eckstein, founded Eckstein Marine Service the same year. Eckstein Marine later became part of Marquette Transportation as Marquette's Gulf-Inland unit. Since C&C Marine & Repair in Belle Chasse, La., delivered the 6,600 hp., triple Z-drive vessel to Marquette in 2019, the vessel has been hard at work as part of Marquette's River fleet. In greeting the crowd gathered for the christening, Marquette CEO Damon Judd praised Capt. Kevin Jackson, Relief Capt. Nathan Kraft and the crew of the Charles Reid Perry for making the boat look as crisp and clean as its first day building tow. |
