That 80s archive

These are a couple of photos I found the other night and scanned today. They were in an envelope labeled "Early Spring 1988." Judging from the lack of leaves on the trees, I would put them at late March or early to mid-April, and probably on a Sunday afternoon.

First is this pic of a salvage operation of some sort at the Gallipolis Locks and Dam. I probably took this from the end of the old Dam 26 road above the mouth of Teens Run. I knew at the time what was being salvaged, but I've forgotten it since.



I don't remember the name of the M/G boat entering the locks at the far left of the picture or the smaller boat to the right of it.

Here is one taken down the road closer to the dam itself. I don't know what the name of the boat on the right of the picture is. Adam noticed a turtleneck boat visible behind the crane. It's so far away that I can't come close to an identification of it.


I have a couple more that I'll post tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on how tomorrow goes.

I have several photos of the J. Page Hayden from that era, but I didn't know if M/G had any other boats of that design.

And because of their color scheme, it wasn't easy to ID M/G boats from a distance.
