Quick post, fotos shot in Cincinnati from the –I kid you not–Purple People Bridge. “Northbound” refers to traffic direction, not mine.
I’m not sure what’s in the barges, covered as they are.
Cincinnati and the Kentucky environs certainly will get me back as a return visitor. More on it later.
Squarish pushboat. Notice crewman hanging out on starboard rail.
Laura Elizabeth registered in St. Louis. No links here, no research. Check comments for Jim’s info on the vessel in the first of the Ohio River series. Thanks, Jim, and cheers. We’re headed for Louisville.
Photos, WVD.

Will — Here are the details on the Laura Elizabeth homeported in St. Louis, MO and owned by Southern Towing Co. of Memphis, TN. She is 114.5 ft (documentation) or 120 ft (company site) and a beam of 35 ft., 380 gross tons, 258 net tons, 3600 hp and built in 1965. The company has been around for a while because there have been no ownership changes on her. You can see a nice profile shot of her at http://www.southerntowing.net/page20.html She is part of an 18 boat fleet.
