| 摘要： | In the story highlighting Crounse Corporation's 75 years in the June 23, 2023, issue of The Waterways Journal, Crounse board chairman Steve Little gave a biography of company founder George Crounse, as well as a brief history of the early years of the firm. The then-35-year-old Mr. Crounse established the company in 1948, and utilized a leased towboat while one of his own design was built. Since a loan from his Aunt Alice helped finance this construction, it was no surprise that the trim little craft was christened Alice.The Paducah Marine Ways yard of the St. Louis Shipbuilding & Steel Company would build the Alice at Paducah, Ky., in 1949. The May 7, 1949, issue of the WJ carried a small item on page eight headlined PADUCAH YARD DELIVERS F-M POWERED ALICE: "After trials on Friday, April 29, at Paducah, the single-screw tow-boat Alice left Cairo the next day, Saturday, with 3,400 tons of petroleum products, in three barges, for Point Pleasant, W.Va. The Paducah Marine Ways Inc. built the Fairbanks-Morse powered towboat for the Crounse Corporation, Paducah. |
