I road the MV John Donnelly many times from 91 to 93 along with the MV Alice I. Hooker . The Capt. of the John Donnelly first name was Harold and he pushed 76 barges on the lower Mississippi up to the Vickburg bridge then split tow with the Eileen Bigalow .

ya i quit there tierd of the bs and they screw you guys on prices! im looking into get on with yall. my cousion tony taylor rides for ingram and my father in law is a piolt, so i hope to be on this new adventure soon!
@creetybo -Recently too, right? Been having a lot of work done on it in the last several months, most of it at Wickliffe. I wasn't able to go this trip.... maybe next trip but it isn't looking like it.
OUTstanding! I grew up on the Mississippi in the early fifties. (MV Stephen Foster, Celeste, Davy Crockett, Lasalle, ), all much smaller boats then! Love the Cajun music!
how big is that boat? i work in the harbor at st.louis but i used to work for united barge line/ teco/ mid south... all the same company though you probebly know that. i worked there for almost 5 years and never road one of the big boats. i road the sam latrico for a while when the boat i was on got tied up. it was a 6800 but not a triple screw. my home boat was the sylvia h a 2800 hp and we stayed on the ohio most all the time except for a few short slow trips to cora or kellogg on the upper.
Capt Erna Honeycutt was the first one on that one , if I'm not mistaken.
