| 摘要： | This fall's low water brought to mind the drought of 1988, when the barge industry faced similar hardships. Capt. Mike Rushing, now owner of Rushing Marine Service, participated in two convoys authorized by the Coast Guard as a means to get barges moving. "It turned out to be a good thing, and the convoys were successful because a group of five tow-boats and their tows were required to stay together and work together during the voyage," he writes.Rushing wrote a poem about one of the convoys, which, with his permission, we present below. The photos are part of a poster-sized artwork that his daughter made for him of the poem. "True to the rhyme, we sat together in our living room with all the grandkids and told the story and read the rhyme," he writes. |
