Comments: I have always been interested in towboats. Recently on a trip to Hannibal, MO I took some pictures of some tugs which I will send to you soon. Thank you for an interesting website. I bet there are some interesting stories that go along with these tugs. Do you know of a site that gives some history as well as pictures?

Comments: I worked nine summers on tow boats for Mid-America Transportation Co., Mid-South Towing Corp., and Chotin Towing. I started in the summer of 1958 on the Eleanor Gordon.
My favorite boat was the Girlee Knight. It had an internal elevator. I was on the Girlee when we hit a bridge at Helena, AK in the spring of 63. It was also the last boat that I worked on in 1967.
I worked on the Irene Chotin in the summer of 1962.
I worked on the Julia Woods in 1966.
I have many slides of boats and also some b&W photos, both interior and exterior of these MV's.
I am a retired teacher. Do you know if the old Girlee Knight built by St. Louis shipyard is still running?

Comments: Was interested to see a tug named after a possible ancestor of mine, William Kimble. Interest was also tweaked since the orginial name was the "Barbara Gay" and the Gay family is related to the Kimball's.
