TEN YEARS AGO, Hurricane Isaac drenched the Gulf Coast before moving inland; low water had led to at least 66 groundings on the Lower Mississippi River over the summer; and Weeks Marine christened the $41 million dredge C.R. McCaskill in Houma, La. TWENTY YEARS AGO, the Coast Guard's National Maritime Center announced a licensing system reorganization; and on his first-year anniversary, New Orleans Port executive director Gary LaGrange said the port would return to aggressive marketing. THIRTY YEARS AGO, the secretary of the Army approved a major rehab for Lock 25 on the Mississippi River at Winfield, Mo.; and the old mv. Mississippi completed its last low-water inspection tour before being replaced by a larger, more powerful boat. |
