| 摘要： | In 1894, as the Howard family prepared to occupy their newly completed 22-room riverside mansion at Jefferson-ville, Ind., their shipyard built the tow-boat Fritz, named for Capt. Fritz Mentor. The sternwheeler was constructed for a contract cost of $5,000, utilizing recycled pieces and parts from the towboat Charlie Depauw, also built by the Howards in 1882 for the Duffy family. The Duffy family was in the coal, sand and gravel business, ultimately evolving into the Ohio River Sand & Gravel Company at Louisville. The Depauw was dismantled in 1890. The Fritz, which had joined the fleet of the Combine in 1899, was taken to Elizabeth, Pa., in 1906, at which time the name was changed to Rescue. The vessel did towing work in the Caseyville, Ky., region for the Combine until that corporation was dissolved in 1916. |
