It's been a while since one of my favorite boats has been on the river, but she has a new owner. As this is written, the J.S. Lewis is on its way to Neale Island at Vienna WV, having been bought from Amherst Madison. Here the boat is being pushed by the M/V Alabama as they pass the John E. Amos Power Plant on the Kanawha River.
Here's one in black and white as seen from St. Albans WV.
I look forward to seeing how C.R. Neale III restores this classic after having saved her from the scrapper.
