Wow that's a cruise liner! You take it so easy going. Total respect for what you do. One wrong lever and your dun but you have the experience to just take it in your stride. Keep showing what you do.

Looks good to have "partially sank and came to rest on the river bottom with the uppermost structure of the vessel still above the water’s surface" in 2015. I have photos of the Billy Strait and the Charles L. Strait passing Warfield.

This is one fine boat. While she might have been built back in the 1950s, not much of the boat beyond the hull probably remains from that time. At each retrofit, the yards practically rebuild much of the boat. You probably can't tell much of a difference between this boat and a brand new one fresh out of the yard that built it. I am kind of surprised that you don't have an option to have red lighting in the interior spaces like they do in military ships. I wish I had a galley a fraction as nice as this one is. Thanks for the great tour of this boat. A mighty fine boat!

Hanes Class boat! Which one was this, it's been so long that I've lost track of the name changes. Valley Transporter, Valley Voyager, A.D. Haynes and a Nilo boat that I don't remember the original name of were the only four. I ran striker and chief on all three of the Valley boats at one time or another, the old girl looks fabulous inside! :-)

Beautiful refurbish. Was this a scheduled refurb due to age or was this boat swamped? Thanks for the tour, that wheel house is fantastic.

Looks like y'all pulled up around 110mm. You getting off in Baton Rouge? You ever see Capt Keith Smith on Stone tell him I'm still alive and I'll be back on soon as this broke arm heals. The crew on River Addyson too. Being a Midstream Skipper I've been along side a crazy amount of towboats. Supplies, crew changes, emergency transport on-the-fly out of Vidalia/Natchez. Stay safe....

I would like to see 3 generators on every boat just for safety. I have lost power on one boat that had a bad battery on one gen and a fuel filter on the other gen that went down. Port Aurther Towing was where that happened on the lower Miss, pretty scary

If they are properly maintained, as our chiefs keep them, it should not be issue. They are swapped regularly for general maintenance.
