摘要：	Sixty years ago this past week, on June 23, 1963, a sternwheel towboat race was held at Charleston, W.Va., in conjunction with the centennial celebrations for the state of West Virginia. The two boats involved were the W.C. White (detailed in the July 11, 2022, issue of The Waterways Journal) and the Helen Z. The Helen Z has been mentioned in this column before by Keith Norrington, with photos showing the remains as it wound up in his back yard at New Albany, Ind. The Helen Z began life as the steam towboat Lieut. Augustin, built by Dubuque Boat & Boiler Company for the U.S. Engineer Department in 1911. This was part of a series of boats Dubuque constructed for the Engineers in 1911-12, which also included the Lieut. Gurney, Lieut. Lewis, Augustus J. Nolty and W.M. Rees (WJ May 1, 2023). All were of sternwheel propulsion with condensing engines that were 13's, 26's - 5-foot stroke. The steel hulls measured 137.6 feet by 24 feet.
