Towboating on Inland Waterways

Towboating on Inland Waterways was written after people showed a genuine interest in learning more about the towboat industry. The author has written a brief, descriptive book about the years she worked on the river. She explains towboating as she experienced it from a cook's point of view. As you read, you will learn how towboaters get to and from the boats and what it's like to climb lock walls and ride yawls and tugs. The captain and his crew maneuver the barges on the rivers through all types of weather, in both low and high water, sometimes making split-second decisions to keep the crew and the boat out of harm's way.Wolfe, Susan Markle is the author of 'Towboating on Inland Waterways ' with ISBN 9781424113163 and ISBN 1424113164.
