| 摘要： | In the Old Boat column of the June 19 issue regarding the Sam Craig, brief mention was made of the Reliance. It was an important part of the beginnings of Union Barge Line (UBL), and it was referred to by Capt. Frederick Way Jr. as being the "goose that laid the golden egg" for that firm. Charles T. Campbell, one of the founders of UBL, had an earlier company-incorporated as Reliable Towing Company-that owned a steam towboat named Old Reliable. In 1916, the Old Reliable towed a wooden barge containing cylindrical steel tanks that could hold some 1,200 gallons of gasoline. This movement was for the Atlantic Refining Company from Sistersville, W.Va., to a terminal on the Allegheny River at Pittsburgh. |
