In the last column we looked at the twin-screw towboat Dorothy H, built by Nashville Bridge in 1938 for Capt. Walter G. Hougland (later doing business as Walter G. Hougland Sons and Hougland Barge Line). The boat was 143 by 30 feet and had 1,100 hp. provided by two Nelseco diesels. This boat, large for the time, replaced two steam sternwheel towboats in the Hougland fleet. Over time, the Dorothy H was rebuilt, with the superstructure modernized, and in 1949 it was renamed Warren Hougland. In 1951, it was re-powered with GM 12-567A engines of 1,800 hp., and it was again re-en-gined in 1957 with GM 12-567C diesels of 2,400 hp. |
