A ceremony and a towboat

Here are a few photos from Sunday's dedication of the O. Nelson Jones pilot simulator at the Point Pleasant River Museum and the open house of the towboat of the same name.

Here are people gathered for the ceremony.



Among the speakers was Charles Jones, CEO of Amherst Madison and father of the late O. Nelson Jones.



Here's the upgraded simulator.



Jones stands outside the simulator, next to the door bearing his son's name.

Over at the riverfront park, the M/V O. Nelson Jones accepted visitors.

 Here's the lounge on the second deck. If you look closely in the center, at the ceiling, you can see where you walk through a door and up 17 steps to the pilothouse.



And here's Charles Jones talking with the boat's captain.
