摘要：	Capt. Joseph Chotin owned and operated two steam, stern-wheel towboats named J.N. Pharr. The first was a wood hull vessel, 115 by 24 feet, that had been built in 1910 as the B.A. Doyle. It sank in 1912, and Chotin purchased the hull after raising, having it rebuilt and renamed J.N. Pharr. It was sold to Mexico in 1920 and reportedly sank there in 1921. Chotin replaced this boat with the packet Louise, which had been built at Parkers-burg, W.Va., in 1908, on a wood hull 103 by 21 feet. He took it south, stopping at the Mound City (Ill.) Marine Ways to have it converted for towing and renaming it Jos. S. Chotin. It was later sold to the Wm. Lorimer Lumber Company of Jonesville, La. In 1923, Chotin had a completely new boat built by Nashville Bridge Co., Nashville, Tenn., which he also named J.N. Pharr. The steel hull was 108.2 by 26 by 4.4 feet, and it had engines that were 12s with a 6-foot stroke. Above the hull were two full cabins with a tall pilothouse on the roof, and twin smokestacks completed the looks of this trim little towboat.
