| 摘要： | The Western Rivers towing industry was seeing much change in the year 1935. The Inland Waterways Corporation, the government-owned towing concern nicknamed the Federal Barge Line by rivermen, had been experimenting heavily with prop tow- boats built with tunnel sterns since 1920. Within recent years, the IWC had been building some large propeller-driven craft powered with diesel engines, rather than steam. In 1934 and 1935, Union Barge Line had the Dravo Corporation build the Peace and Neville, "ultra-modern" diesel prop boats for their fleet, which until this time had been exclusively steam sternwheel. The new Mississippi Valley Barge Line had built four large steam-prop towboats, and the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation of Pittsburgh had built two steam prop boats at Ward Engineering in 1931 to be utilized in delivering steel products to Memphis. |
