| 摘要： | We detailed the A.M. Scott in the April 10, 2023, issue of The Waterways Journal. This boat was an early steam twin-prop towboat, described in Way's Steam Towboat Directory as the third tunnel hull boat built by the Charles Ward Engineering Works at Charleston, W.Va., on the Kanawha River. John L. Fryant, who is well known for his expertise in model building, and who has also extensively researched the Ward firm, recently forwarded some interesting information on the Ward engines that powered the A.M. Scott, as well as biographical information on the man the boat was named for. The A.M. Scott was built in 1906 with a riveted steel hull that was 150 by 26 feet. In the material sent by Fryant was an article from the May 1907 issue of International Marine Engineering, describing the new boat in detail. The cabins were reported as "built throughout with the best California redwood, the carlins and framing of Oregon fir. The pilot house is ten by twelve feet, fitted with steering wheel, steam steering gear and all necessary bell pulls and signals to the engineroom." |
