Download or read book Towboat on the Ohio written by James E. Casto and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To get a personal look at what it is like to work on the Ohio River, newspaperman James E. Casto spent eight days aboard the Blazer as it traveled the Ohio from Huntington, West Virginia, to Pittsburgh, up the Allegheny and the Mongahela, and then back to Huntington. The Paul G. Blazer, a gleaming white towboat owned and operated by Ashland Oil, pushes a group -- or "tow," as the rivermen call it -- of nine barges on this trip. Along the way, Casto introduces us to Captain Ronnie Davis, pilot Ronnie Burge, engineer Steve Bellomy, the mates, the deckhands, and the cook, as well as the river itself, the life and the beauty that are the Ohio. Interwoven with the narrative of the trip upriver and back is the history of commerce on the Ohio -- of how the flatboats and keelboats gave way to the steamboats and how, in turn, the steamboats were replaced by today's powerful, diesel-powered boats such as the Blazer. Mark Twain wrote that the Mississippi had a new story to tell every day. The same can be said of the Ohio. As engaging as it is informative, Towboat on the Ohio tells one of the many stories of the busy, hardworking Ohio River.

Download or read book Towboat Terrorists written by James P. Jones and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-06-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uniquely illustrating how drugs and lack of security on the water are a threat to our national security, a compelling account using our nation’s rivers. Seeing the dangers of river traffic, understanding the awesome power of water, and being inspired by the Oklahoma City bombing; the author paints a vivid account of a very realistic and unique possibility. The book is written is a Tom Clancy style yet includes elements of humor, notions of “honor among thieves” and personal integrity. The author is a mariner who has worked with towboats and barge traffic for eighteen years, and gives the “land lubber” a glimpse into the lifestyle of a typical “river rat”. The book begins with a prologue to help the reader understand how maritime river trade works. It sets off by drawing the reader into the life of one particular mariner, and follows him through some bad personal choices until he is found stuck in a terrible situation, and unwittingly sets into motion a domestic terrorism plan that devastates thousands of people and wipes out one of the countries premier cities. An epilogue sums up life for the characters after the crisis.

Download or read book Way s Steam Towboat Directory written by Frederick Way (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the initial release in 1983 of Way's Packet Directory, 1848-1983, the demand was enormous for a similar treatment of the steam towboats that once populated the Mississippi River System. Captain Frederick Way, Jr., aided by Joseph W. Rutter, gathered together this wealth of information concerning steamboats that shoved river barges laden with coal, petroleum products, chemicals, sand, gravel, and similar bulk commodities from the headwaters of the Ohio River to the jetties of the Mississippi. The steam towboats that performed these services have completely disappeared from the scene, their places having been taken by hundreds of modern diesel-propeller towboats, but this thorough and remarkable reference guide helps preserve their history.
