| 摘要： | Early in the 20th century, the Charles Ward Engineering Works, Charleston, W.Va., became known for building tunnel-stern prop-driven towboats. The James Rumsey, built in 1903 by Ward, had a contest with the sternwheel D.T. Lane at Charleston. Both boats were steam, with the smaller Rumsey rated at 425 hp. and the Lane rated at 450 hp. While the contest caused a firestorm of controversy among the river community, there was no clear winner. The Rumsey was in the U.S. Engineers fleet at Wheeling, W.Va., and later at Huntington, W.Va. It was sold in 1934 to Louisville Sand & Gravel, which renamed it Steve Click Jr. That firm operated it until selling it to a Jesse Cooper in 1946. It was lost by sinking at Helena, Ark., in 1947. |
