The Mv. T. G. Gerow, as photographed at Cape Girardeau, Mo., by Dan Owen on January 17, 1965. The twin screw vessel was built in 1940 by Jeffersonville (Ind.) Boat & Machine Company. She was160 x 34.6 x 8 and was powered by National Superior diesels providing 1,600 hp. Originally, she was the National, owned by American Barge Line Co., Jeffersonville. Sold July 1948 to Sohio Petroleum Co., Cleveland, Ohio. Sold May 1951 to The Ohio River Co., Cincinnati, renamed. Sold 1963 to Econo-flo Flour Service, Salinas, Kansas; operated by River Marine Service, Inc., Paducah. Sold 1968 to Port City Barge Line, Inc., Greenville, Miss. Courtesy Boat Photo Museum.

A TECO Transport boat, no name visible, was photographed in early March 2003 at Ohio River Mile 829.2, Mt. Vernon, Ind. The photographer thought it might be Halter-built. Dan Owen thinks the boat is either the Amy C or Mary Lou. Randy Ward examined the boat further and concluded it's the Amy C because of the way the hooks are hanging on the tow knee. Copyright Capt. Randy Ward.

Mv. Tendotá (1), formerly a U.S. vessel but now being operated a barge company in Paraguay. It works on a waterway that is 3,440 kms long and looks pretty similar to the Mississippi River many years ago. The picture was taken on November 4, 2004. Posted by Guillermo M. Luján, Argentina, South America.
Mv. Tendotá (2), photographed on November 4, 2004, operates on a waterway in South America. The vessel’s name is in Guaraní, an Indian language, and it means “the leader.” Posted by Guillermo M. Luján, Argentina, South America.
The Tennessee (#21-17)(originally the Esso Tennessee and later Exxon Tennessee before becoming the Tennessee as shown here in 1974) was sold several times during the next 15 years. She was renamed Emma Catherine for a couple years before getting another “state” name of sorts when she was renamed Texas Rose in 1988 by the last U.S. owner, who kept her only a year before selling her to an outfit in the Virgin Islands where she was converted to a ship-docking tug.

The Tennessee (#287-16) Mississippi Valley Barge Line steamer, 2,200 hp., built by Dravo in 1930, 191 x 40, sister to the Ohio (slide #1-2) previously published in B&B. The vessel was eventually rebuilt, converted to diesel and renamed Texas by Houston Barge Line in 1964. Here the Tennessee is shown somewhere along the Ohio River on July 6, 1956. (There is no information on the photographer or location.) Posted by Capt. Jeffrey L. Yates.
Here is a sketch of the Tennessee Hunter. Posted by Thomas Waller.
Tennessee/Texas (1) (photographic history #1 of 8), posed at Cincinnati, possibly in 1952. It may have been taken before the wide-angle lens was developed, and the photographer had to go two counties back from the river before he was able to get the entire boat into the negative. Courtesy Boat Photo Museum.
Tennessee/Texas (2) (photographic history #2 of 8), being towed dead boat by the Nancy Jane of Campbell Barge Line, Inc., Pittsburgh. That is the upper end of Neville Island in the background, so it appears as if they are shoving into Dashields Lock after the Tennessee had some work done at Dravo yard at Neville Island. The Nancy Jane was probably towing it back to Mississippi Valley Barge Line’s Singer’s Landing at Pittsburgh. Not a wisp of steam anywhere. All of the engineroom doors are closed, so she surely was a “dead” boat. Courtesy Boat Photo Museum.

Texas (#71-24) was photographed at Norco, La., on February 21, 1977. (She is now 182 x 40 ft.) She was originally the Valley Line steamer Tennessee (see slide #287-16). Her hull was shortened 20 feet and she was repowered with 4,000 hp. (total) diesels at Parker Bros. Shipyard, Houston, Texas, in 1964. She was removed from service in 1984. Photographer doesn't know what became of her. Copyright Capt. Jeffrey L. Yates.

Texas/Tennessee (1) (photographic history #4 of 8). Photographer Dan Owen wrote, “This is the first time I saw the Texas after the rebuilding job, which was finished in October 1964. I took this picture on June 13, 1965, when she was upbound at Cannelton, Ind.” Courtesy Boat Photo Museum.
Texas/Tennessee (2) (photographic history #5 of 8). Dan Owen took this picture on April 23, 1966, when the vessel was downbound at Mile 847 on the Ohio River. Courtesy Boat Photo Museum.
Texas/Tennessee (3) (photographic history #6 of 8). The vessel was also involved in tramp line-haul towing on the lower Mississippi River. This shows it with such a tow. Dan Owen writes that “If I were a deckhand and popped over the hill to catch the Texas and saw the cable reel on the stern, I believe I would have turned around and headed back home. This shows that they made their own wires.” Courtesy Boat Photo Museum.
Texas/Tennessee (4) (photographic history #7 of 8). Another view of the Texas with tramp line-haul tow. Courtesy Boat Photo Museum.
Texas/Tennessee (5) (photographic history #8 of 8). Dan Owen wrote, “This is the last photo I have of the Texas. It is undated, but I believe it is in the Channelview area of Houston, Texas. It was in this position for several years and was listed as ‘out of service’ in 1985. I don’t know what happened to it after this photo was taken. A hurricane hit the area several years later and caused considerable damage to many boats, including some that were beached during the surge. This photo was taken by Ed Christianson of Lake Jackson, Texas, a former deckhand on the boat. Perhaps Allen Wisby can offer details of its last years.” Courtesy Boat Photo Museum.

Tricolor Salvage - Here is a scene that salvagers don’t like to see. Posted by Jan van der Doe, it shows small boats with curious people dangerously close to the working side of the Tricolor. With anchor chains and wires leading in all directions, accidents can happen at any time. Here, the first section of the Tricolor has been cut from the ship and is being raised by floating cranes in order to place it on a semi-submersible. The Tricolor, carrying high-priced automobiles, sank in the English Channel December 14, 2002, following a collision with the Kariba, a Bahamian-flagged container ship, in the French Exclusive Economic Zone, 20 miles north of the French coast. Courtesy SMIT Salvage.
Tricolor Salvage - The engine section of the car carrier Tricolor after it was sliced by a cuttingwire. The Tricolor is being salvaged from the bottom of the English Channel by a consortium, which includes SMIT Salvage. Giant floating cranes are used to lift the individual sections aboard semi-submersible barges and then they are taken ultimately to Belgium.

Tricolor Salvage - The first salvaged section of the auto carrier Tricolor is carefully position on a semi-submersible barge. It weights 3,000 tons. The sinking of the Tricolor, following a collision, with a container ship, took place in the French Exclusive Economic Zone of the English Channel, 20 miles off the French Coast. The French Government ordered that it be removed because it is a threat to navigation and to the environment.

Hannibal, Mo. Photos - Finding someone who has not read books by Mark Twain would be rare. Many, however, have not visited Hannibal, Mo., where Samuel Clemens made his home and ultimately created what today powers a continuing economic boom of sorts for that Mississippi River town. I snapped a few pictures of famous Hannibal landmarks (and some not particularly famous) that provide a smattering of the ambiance of Mark Twain land. Many have appeared on postcards. They could be new to some readers who have never ventured to Hannibal. The 13 views provided here are all within a small radius within walking distance of about one city block between the two most distant sites. These are but a few of the many places to enjoy in Hannibal. Posted by B&B.
