Photo of TOM DODSWORTH and barges. Unidentified boat to the right. Levee in the foreground with R. C. 20 boat. CHARLEY JUTTE in the background, docked at the far bank.
Photograph of the steamboat DELTA QUEEN near a railroad bridge north of Hannibal, Mo. "15 barge tow ran into this bridge knocking down center span. April 1981. Turn table swing section on left side of picture in open position. No loss of life or boat. Accident caused by swing section tender not opening section after train passed over. Fast currant and slow opening left no place to go for the tow.”
I piloted this boat St. Louis to Missouri City with tow and returned light. The only boat of the famous Barrett Line that ever entered the Missouri [River].
