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!
