| b Brad Bailey: Poor old Columbia. It appears she has slid back into languishing in a back slip. It doesn't appear that her new owners are making any progress towards her rehabilitation. On the other hand her sister ship the Ste. Clair appears to be moving right along despite a fire that burnt it to the waterline. They are making great strides in resurrecting her. Hate to see either of them gone from the Detroit river scene. Doubly sad since the Columbia is pretty much still fully intact as true floating history of another time but at least the Ste. Clair might yet rise again and be a part of the Detroit river scene one day if it the majority of it will be a recreation. [Karen's post has some closeups of the Columbia.] |

| Jerry M Malloy posted The older Kinsman Independent at the Lake & Rail Elevator on the Buffalo River, Buffalo N.Y. This is not the Ernest Breech. Because the river does not have a great flow rate on normal weather days, early mornings would sometimes bring mirror-like conditions to the surface. Standing on the river bank one would almost feel like you could fall into the sky! Richard Wicklund: Pictured is the 2nd Kinsman Independent (2), the former Richard V. Lindabury of U. S. Steel's Pittsburgh fleet. The 1st Kinsman Independent (1) was the former Francis E. House also of the Pittsburgh fleet. The Breech became the 3rd Kinsman Independent. (I am admin. of the Steinbrenner fleet on Facebook.) Karen Limardi shared |
