| 摘要： | While the large steam stemwheel Jack Rathbone (WJ August 21) was under construction at the Marietta Manufacturing Company at Point Pleasant, W.Va., in 1937, a small diesel towboat was also being built at Paducah, Ky. Though tiny in comparison to the steam "giants" of the day, the boat would merit a lot of attention in the coming issues of The Waterways Journal. The vessel was first mentioned in the Paducah news column in the July 3, 1937, issue of the WJ. The story was headlined "Largest Diesel Boat Ever Built at Paducah, 700 H.P., Nears Completion." This particular column was authored by Donald T. Wright, the owner and publisher of The Waterways Journal since 1921. A note on page 3 of the issue said that Wright had been absent from St. Louis since June 22, first visiting Paducah and then to travel to New Orleans and Mobile on one of his news-finding jaunts. |
