TEN YEARS AGO, Chem Carriers, in its 20th year of business, was adding six towboats to its fleet; Harley Marine Gulf placed into service the mv. Champion; and the mv. Mr. Toad was engulfed in a nine-alarm fire as it was being cut up for scrap in Rome, Ill.; TWENTY YEARS AGO, the Mobile Engineer District installed two mooring buoys at Mile 118 on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway; and the twin-screw Marie C hit a wing dike near Gray's Point, causing a 17-hour closure of the Mississippi River between Miles 45 and 47. THIRTY YEARS AGO, St. Louis readied for a 49-foot crest of the Mississippi River; a 30-year-old Morgan City, La., man was killed by an explosion and fire during a tank-cleaning operation; and Superior Boat Works Inc., Greenville, Miss., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. |
