| 摘要： | The Inland Waterways Corporation (IWC), the barge line chartered by the U.S. government to revitalize river transportation following World War I, was focused on the task and not bound by tradition. Innovation was sought out and championed. The use of propeller-driven craft was an early experiment, and it was largely successful. In 1920, the IWC-commonly dubbed the "Federal Barge Line" by river interests-let contracts for six large steam prop towboats. These would all be products of two West Virginia shipyards, with the Marietta Manufacturing Company, Point Pleasant, W.Va., building the Baton Rouge, Cairo, Memphis and St, Louis, while the Charles Ward Engineering Works, Charleston, W.Va., would build the Natchez and Vicksburg. |
