We decided to try something different on this visit to Chattanooga, and we're taking you along with us! Chattanooga, TN has a Ducks Tour that you can purchase tickets for and ride. They had two of the Ducks working today but, we've seen as many as three in previous weekends. Each Duck can hold about 24 passengers. Our tour guide, Captain Steve, was very knowledgeable about Chattanooga and the Tennessee River. Check out their website, linked below, for ticket prices and tour dates and times. Next time you're in Chattanooga, TN, make sure you make time to take this great tour!
Here is some information about the vehicle they use in the Chattanooga Ducks Tour program ~ The DUKW was designed by Rod Stephens Jr. of Sparkman & Stephens, Inc. yacht designers, Dennis Puleston, a British deep-water sailor resident in the U.S., and Frank W. Speir from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Developed by the National Defense Research Committee and the Office of Scientific Research and Development to solve the problem of resupply to units which had just performed an amphibious landing, it was initially rejected by the armed services. When a United States Coast Guard patrol craft ran aground on a sand bar near Provincetown, Massachusetts, an experimental DUKW happened to be in the area for a demonstration. Winds up to 60 knots (110 km/h; 69 mph), rain, and heavy surf prevented conventional craft from rescuing the seven stranded Coast Guardsmen, but the DUKW had no trouble, and military opposition to the DUKW melted. The DUKW later proved its seaworthiness by crossing the English Channel.
The final production design was perfected by a few engineers at Yellow Truck & Coach in Pontiac, Michigan. The vehicle was built by Yellow Truck and Coach Co. (GMC Truck and Coach Div. after 1943) at their Pontiac West Assembly Plant and Chevrolet Div. of General Motors Corp. at their St. Louis Truck Assembly Plant; 21,147 were manufactured before production ended in 1945.
