| 摘要： | Last week we looked at the Str. General Ashburn. As mentioned, it was one of four steam, sternwheel tow-boats built by Dubuque Boat & Boiler Company for the Upper Mississippi Barge Line, and in turn leased to the Inland Waterways Corporation (IWC). The first three of these boats were built in 1927, with the initial boat being the S.S. Thorpe, named for Samuel S. Thorpe, a Minneapolis realtor, founder of the National Association of Realtors and first chairman of the Upper Mississippi Barge Line Company (UMBLC). The second of the four boats to come out was the C.C. Webber, named for Charles C. Webber, a vice president of Deere & Company and last surviving grandson of John Deere. Webber had long been an advocate of an improved Upper Mississippi River channel and served as president of the UMBLC. The third boat was the General Ashburn, and the fourth, which came out in 1928, was the John W. Weeks, named for a recently deceased former secretary of war. |
