In 1892, the Huntington & St. Louis Towboat Company had a towboat built at Cincinnati that was named Wash Honshell. The hull was 157 by 28 feet, and the engines installed were 14 s with 7-foot stroke. The company was based at Cincinnati and also operated the H.F. Frisbie and Jacob Heatherington.All three of the company vessels towed extensively on the Upper Mississippi River, with the Honshell on charter to the U.S. Engineer Department there for some time. One of the pilots aboard at times was Capt. Clarence Carter. A navigation light named Clarence Carter has stood for many years on the left descending bank at Mile 708.2 Ohio River, not far above Cloverport, Ky. |
