| 摘要： | In the last column we looked at the Bessie E. Merrill, owned by Capt. Charles C. Stone of Point Pleasant, W.Va. It was mentioned that Capt. Stone dismantled his other steamboat, the Tu-Endi-We, about the same time he sold the Bessie E. Merrill in 1943. The Tu-Endi-We had been built by Howards in 1911 as the Merrill for the U.S. Engineer department. The names involved can become confusing, since Stone would later buy the General Craighill and give it a name containing Merrill! The Merrill was sternwheel, with a wood hull 115 by 22 by 3.5 feet, and it had engines withll's - 5-foot stroke. The boat cost $14,000 new, and it was assigned to the Muskingum River. Way's Steam Towboat Directory lists some interesting information regarding the boat. It was commanded some 14 years by Capt. Oscar Webster, who was the father of Earl Webster, who would become well known on the Upper Ohio River as an owner and operator of diesel sternwheel boats. Way's goes on to say that Capt. Oscar Webster's father was Capt. Ed Webster, who had been a steamboat engineer on the packet L.C. McCormick when it exploded on the Muskingum River in 1879. |
