| 摘要： | Rob Erlbacher Ⅱ, president and owner of Missouri Dry Dock & Repair Inc., one of the most venerated family-owned businesses on the river, has announced he is closing the company and its facility at Cape Girardeau, Mo., at the end of the year. "It's been a great ride," the 76-year-old riverman said, citing a number of reasons, "but the time has come to turn the page."Erlbacher's father and uncle started building riverboats in the 1930s and operated as Erlbacher Brothers Barge Line. Following World War II, his uncle got out of the business, but his father kept several boats and barges and changed the company's name to Missouri Barge Line, Erlbacher said. In the early 1950s, he started Missouri Dry Dock & Repair Company. "He did that because he could not find people to repair his boats the way he wanted them to be repaired," Erlbacher said. In the early 1960s, he added a second drydock to the business. |
