Comments: Grew up in Monaca, Pa (northern most point in the Ohio River) and took riverboat pictures in the late 50's and early 60's. Still have negatives in envelopes of those boat pictures. It sure was a different time. Really liked the sternwheelers.

Comments: I really enjoyed your tug boat galley. I have been trying very hard to find infomation on a tug I worked on in 1961 out of New Orleans, her name was Philip Sporn, I would love a picture of her or any type of information about her. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards,
Comments: I joy lookin at all the boats everyone has sent in,I've worked on the river over 16 years and love it.My brother inlaw got me my first job on the river and it's been a great life. I LOVE HIM FOR THAT CHANGE IN MY LIFE.. At this time i'm a post pilot on the M/V O.H.INGRAM LMR for Ingram Barge Co.
Comments: How blessed and surprised I was to type in "tug boat named after Jerry McNeil Kentucky" and be led to this website! And, to see more recent pictures than I had of "Jerry's boat" as we approach the ninth anniversary of losing him, chokes me up. Yesterday, October 1 would have been Jerry's 54th birthday. He passed away of a massive heart attack at the age of 46, just 4 days from Christmas 2002. He left behind a beautiful wife, two children, a big family that adored him and so many friends that the visitation at his funeral took 5 1/2 hours, on Christmas Eve in a snowstorm. He's now in heaven, and has probably laid asphalt so he and Dale Earnhardt can entertain former Nascar fans with chariot races, of sorts! Thank you SO much for this site. It is a comfort and encouragement to us all.

Comments: My dad owned and operated the Natalie Alexander, in the late 70's until 1990. At the time it was named the Sioux. I always wondered if the old girl was still in operation, I finally came across the picture. It looks great. Keep her going DG Marine Trans.
