| 摘要： | The Dravo Contracting Company experimented in building a steam prop tow-boat in 1919 that it named Peace. Fol- lowing the construction of this vessel, the company built mainly sternwheel vessels, both large steam-powered craft and smaller diesel-equipped boats. In 1930, two large steam prop boats were constructed by Dravo for the fledgling Mississippi Valley Barge Line, the Ohio and Tennessee. In 1934, while planning and building two large diesel propeller boats for their internally owned Union Barge Line, Dravo also built a smaller single-screw diesel boat named Pioneer. This boat was 94 by 21 feet and had 250 hp. from a Nelseco diesel engine. The stern was rounded, somewhat like would be found on a blue-water tug, and it had a single stack and a pool-style pilothouse with a small cabin behind. The name selected, Pioneer, would prove to be prophetic. |
