| 摘要： | After a 14-year absence, the Charleston, W.Va., Sternwheel Regatta has returned to the Kanawha River, and it took place over the Fourth of July weekend. The once enormously popular event began in 1971 when 13-year-old Nelson Jones arranged a meeting with Mayor John Hutchinson and made a pitch that a sternwheel boat race sponsored by the city would be a good idea. Jones' inspiration for the event came from the steamboat races held at Charleston between boats of Amherst Barge Company and Armco Steel in the early 1950s and the diesel sternwheel race between White Brothers Construction Company's W.C. White, with Capt. Harry White, and Point Towing Company's Helen Z with Capt. Bob Bosworth as part of the West Virginia Centennial celebration in 1963. |
