John,
I love the historical mapping. A great tool. I used the property owners names on the plots & properties to fill the gaps in the family tree hunts. I even used it on the Charlie Putnam search by following his family's migration west after the Revolutionary War. Good stuff. Thanks!

A few days ago I think it was, I had read here that she was towed through the Cuyahoga by a tug and was curious to if maybe she had gone into layup yet or not? Let me know if you would please. Thanks for any information also as I appreciate it.
Denny,
I see you got an answer. The AIS has been spotty here lately. Boats come in and out of view like they are moving through fog. I saw the Manitowoc leave before sunrise a few days back w/ no AIS.
All the shuttle boats are out. DA/PF sailed out and someone here said she was headed for layup in Erie. If that is the case, the shuttle is over. They all are laid up.
I have not been over to the old river channel in a while. They usually have a cement boat in layup there and whatever Great Lakes has in.
I have the Iowa and the Illinois moored out my window. And that's all folks!
Here is a map from 1917. I believe we used it looking for the Cincinnati Slip when Mr Lafferty first spoke of it. We never heard of it. (I circled it in the picture) Anyway the map was all about straightening/realignment of the Cuyahoga. It was a big bad deal that never passed 100 years ago. What would it be like today if it did happen? No river class boats?
Cheers
