I beleive the Isabella was the carferry @ Metropolis and many of the barges
were used in conjunction orf working on bridges on navigable rivers and the
several piers/wharfs Q had on Chicago River. (grain operations, etc)
Could be a heckuva of an article if we can get some photos, stories and more
data. Tks Charlie!
