Cummins-Powered Cruise/Dining
Vessel 'Star Of Louisville' Now
In Service On Ohio River
The Cummins-powered "Star" was built to a modified Dan- ish design in exactly six months and three days by Marine
Builders Of Utica, Ind.
The cruise/dining vessel Star of Louisville, built by Marine Builders Inc. of Utica, Ind., was recently put into service on the Ohio River and is now offering lunch, dinner and moonlight cruises along Louisville's shore. Owned by Star of Louisville, Inc., and operated by Starline Cor- poration, the vessel can accommodate 350 din- ner passengers and is Coast Guard certified for a total of 600.
The Star of Louisville, 126 feet long by 35 feet wide, has two fully enclosed, temperature-con- trolled dining decks and an outdoor observation deck. Two 48-inch by 32-inch five-blade Doran propellers are turned through 3.5:1 reduction gears by twin Cummins NTA-855-M in-line, six- cylinder marine diesels rated 350 hp each at 1,800 rpm, providing speeds up to 12 mph under the 700-hp propulsion of the engines. The pro- pulsion system incorporates Lo Rez vibration isolaters which dampen normal vibration, re- sulting in quiet operation over the entire speed range of the engines.
Two Cummins 6BT5.9 diesels were selected to drive Lima 100-kw generators, with one provid- ing electrical power exclusively for the galley. All the Cummins engines were supplied by Cum- mins Cumberland, Inc. of Louisville.
The "Star" employs an electrical/hydraulic steering system designed by Marine Builders.
Johnson keel coolers were specified, along with
Furuno radar, a Polaris Regency VHF, depth finder, Murphy alarm system, and a Kahlenberg horn.
