摘要：	An attractive sternwheeler built by the Ayer & Lord Marine Ways at Paducah, Ky., in 1918, the H.G. Hill was 165 feet in length by 30 feet in width. The engines (12-inch cylinders with 6-foot stroke) were recycled from the packet Rapids, which was lost at Paducah in the 1918 ice gorge. The wooden-hulled vessel was constructed chiefly for Capt. W.L. Berry, manager of the marine ways, who entered the vessel in the Paducah-Cumberland River trade, with a weekly trip to Clarks-ville, Term., and one trip to Nashville. In partnership with Capt. Berry were Annie I. Baker, who was also associated with the marine ways, and Capt. Tom Buckingham, who was master of the Hill. Originally it was planned that Capt. Fred Mc-Candless would also be a partner in the venture by furnishing the engines from the Henry Harley; McCandless dropped out when other engines were secured.
