Love you Mississippi amazing king’s working man’s love ❤️ and they family love ❤❤❤thanks for sharing this video my Mississippi love you guys for what you do amazing jobs ❤❤❤❤thanks
Thanks for bringing me aboard with your video! I appreciate that. Did my time as a Machinist Mate on the Midway CVA 41 (1969-71) Served in the Tonkin Gulf. Became a USMM CAPT in 2011 - 2021 100T... I'm retired now. Love the sound of those blowers!
I just reread Mark twain's "Life On the Mississippi". I'm sure he would be amazed at river traffic today. The horsepower, the size, the modern navigational aids, locks and dams, & etc. Way different from what he describes.
Another great video Capt. Neat to see some of the different traffic on the river. Wonder what they were doing with that WWII tug. I see from the comments it was going to Little Rock, but to work or be a museum piece?
+Ratdog 305 Museum piece to be placed by the Razorback. The Hoga is credited with pushing two sinking battleships clear of the Pearl Harbor channel. It played a big part in keeping Pearl open for the carriers and other battle-class ships. She is a hero!
you sure have a beautiful re-fitted tow boat;damn! LBJ ran the VietNam War from a commode in the White House; but he did not have the view that you have! lol GREAT VIDEO! Thanks!
I’m just seeing comments and not sure what size you are seeing. It can vary vastly depending on quite a few variables. That said, about 4-6 hours for 15 barges would be decent time.
Tell me more about your S/B experiences with lock # 17 on the ark. river. I run up there a lot and was very amused watching your approach. That lock has treated me poorly on several occasions.
Yes, she was moved to Houma Louisiana in 2015 for restoration but she still needs an act of congress to sail overnight with more than 49 passengers ( due to her wooden superstructure ).
