The J.N. Phillips was my home for 70 days. I made two trips, the first was 40 days and the second was 30 days. We were mostly a Tramp tow, working the lower Mississippi. We did one trip up the Ohio as far as Cinncinati, and one trip up the Illinois. I have to admit the Ohio river valley was an awesome trip. I met some really awesome and very interesting people and it will always have a place in my heart. Especially for being "a Flatlander from Kansas". R.I.P. Capt'n Elmer.

Great site. Love looking at the boats. I worked on the RH Huffman in the mid seventies. Looking pretty bad here. I see the photo credit was 'Michael Herschler'. Is there any way to get contact info on any of the contributors?
Thanks Again for the great site. Phil

Great space! I found three of the boats I worked on in the early 1970s on the lower Mississippi and Intercoastal canal during the 1970s, including the M/V Bun Chotin, my first boat. Also my first boat for National Marine Service, M/V National Crest, and the M/V Geismar, when it was new and being run by Capitol Marine Service in Baton Rouge. Thanks!

This is a great website! My dad Captain William "Red" Brown (born 1910, died 1984) was the pilot of The Penny of Cassvile (now Prairie Dawn)at one time. He retired back around 1969, and have heard wonderful stories about him "back in the day". If anyone knows of him or knew of him, PLEASE email me! Thanks!

Just watched the Jake West move through the Murray Lock and Dam standing on top of Big Dam Bridge above the lock. I have been there hundreds of times and finally took the time to watch the whole process. It was worth the time.

I worked at jeffboat for many years and we built many tow boats but the ones with 2 engines coupled to one shaft were the ones I remember best. The Pat calhoun jr and the J.e. alquist were their names.

My deceased husband William Jack Childers was the Captain of this boat when it was Percy L LeMay till the company was sold. So good to see a picture of it my son and myself have made trips with Jack on it up and down the Mississippi. Brings back wonderful memories Sandy Childers Kincade

The James E Nivin Towboat was named after my father. He worked for the barge line, ACBL in Jeffersonville,IN for about 23years. He was an Ex.VP for the company. Im interested if the towboat still runs and how often does it come through Newburgh,IN down the Ohio River. I would love to see it again...... Thank you, the pics are awesome.
