As far as I know, the Helen S is now the Jonathan Erickson of Marquette Transportation, and it spends most of its time on the Upper Mississippi. As of this morning, its last position was above Lock and Dam 22.
I know enough about business to know that names and companies come and go, but I kind of miss seeing Ohio River Co. boats. Nice name, nice boats.

Brings back old memories,the boat came out under the OR Gulf flag,non union,starting the end of the Ohio River Co. I was working on the Baby Lere under the ORC flag,we were turning the ORG boats south of Memphis,the crews were locked out of the galley on the afterwatch and were not even allowed coffee at night.If I remember I believe decking paid 17.50 a day on the ORG boats vs,27.00 on the ORC boats
