ST. LOUIS SHIP

DIVISION OF POTT INDUSTRIES INC. 611 EAST MARCEAU STREET, ST. LOUIS. MO. 6311 f says Ray Eckstein, President of Wisconsin Barge Line, Inc., (right). Shown with Mr. Eckstein is Vince Tranchita, Vice

President of Wisconsin Barge. "Our latest towboat, the 5,000 h.p. M/V Rose Tranchita, was built by St. Louis Ship from the same blueprints drawn for our M/V Kathryn Eckstein, and later used for the M/V Penny of Cassville. We didn't change a thing. I've questioned our Regular Pilots and the Trip

Pilots about flYDRDDYIME performance, and to quote one: 'These are 3 terrific shovin'towboats. They steer and hold a tow right up to the buoy line.' All unanimously agree that the 3 St. Louis Ship Hydrodyne towboats have TERRIFIC PUSHING and STEERING

ABILITY, and after all, that's what makes you money!"

As a result of the outstanding performance of the above 3 towboats, a 4th Hydrodyne of 6,650 h.p. was ordered by Wisconsin Barge Line. St. Louis Ship's exclusive

Hydrodyne concept embodies the optimum in hull lines, nozzle and propeller design, and rudder configuration. St.

Louis Ship has built more than twice as many towboats as its next largest competitor. Call us at (314) 638-4000. Maybe we can help you!
