摘要：	Harvey, La.-based Crescent Marine Towing held a christening ceremony February 19 at Eymard Marine Construction & Repair for the mv. Captain Walter, an Entech-designed towboat that measures 60 feet by 26 feet, with a depth of 9 feet, 6 inches. The 1,200 hp. towboat is named after Capt. Walter O'Connor, a native and lifelong resident of Metairie, La., who has piloted boats for Crescent Marine for about 35 years. O'Connor got his start as a deckhand in 1982, after working as a welder at Avondale Shipyard, across the river from New Orleans. In those days, he remembers watching vessel crew members from the dock. It wasn't long before he decided he wanted to try out life on boats. "I told my uncle that I'd like to go out on the river, and he just happened to know Randy Eckstein," O'Connor said. "He made a call, and I went to work." O'Connor said he knew almost immediately that he was in the right place. "I knew four days after I was on the boat that's what I wanted to do," he said. "I also knew, if I was going to do it, it was going to be in the wheelhouse. It wasn't going to be out on the deck, freezing my ass off. And that was in New Orleans-we don't get cold that much."
