THE YEARS AGO, low water on the Mississippi River was the main topic at the ninth annual Waterways Symposium, held in Houston, Texas; and Brennan Marine received the 1,200 hp. mv. Megan McB from Tell City Boat Works. TWENTY YEARS AGO, the Corps of Engineers lowered its estimates of Missouri River runoff as an extended drought continued; and NewSouth Marine Builders LLP delivered the 3,000 hp. Marguerite L. Terral to Terral River Services Inc. THIRTY YEARS AGO, Cenac ^i'Towing Company completely rebuilt die mv. Jackie Cenac; and major rehabilitation plans for Allegheny River Locks 2,3 and 4 were scrapped after Congress redefined "major rehabilitation" to disqualify the work for federal funds. FORTY YEARS AGO, Ma-rine Builders Inc. of Clarks-ville, Ind., delivered the harbor-boat Ni-Me-He to Mt. Vernon Barge; and Bisso Towboat Company's single-screw harbor tug Elizabeth S sank at New Orleans after colliding with the tug Craig Smith. |
