- Baby Lere (as Patricia). The vessel was sold again in 1981 and renamed Patricia (#225-35) by Findett Transport Co., which sold her to Wheeler Transport Co. in 1984. This picture as the Patricia was taken at Greenville Shipbuilding Corp. in November 12, 1986, before completion of the rebuilding project, after which she was renamed Whippoorwill when she returned to service in 1987 by Elmer Vickers' Delta Towing Co. We have no picture of her as the Whippoorwill. After burning in 1986, she was sold and rebuilt in 1987 by Greenville Shipbuilding, where a new pilothouse was installed, changing the vessel's original profile. Photographer Capt. Jeffrey L. Yates said that in his opinion, "this is one of the few major (upgrade) modifications that did not negatively affect a boat's beauty." He always thought the boats from Greenville Shipbuilding were some of the most attractive on the river. Copyright Capt. Jeffrey L. Yates.
