CORNELIUS visits; More info on tug VICTORY

ADAM E. CORNELIUS arrived in Erie at around 2:00 this afternoon with stone from Calcite. She docked at the Mounfort International Terminal to unload some of her cargo before moving to the Old Ore Dock.




More information is coming out on the tug VICTORY. According to rumors she'll push the LEWIS J. KUBER next season and then push the RESERVE when she's converted to a barge the following season. I don't know what this leaves in store for the OLIVE L. MOORE for next year, but I'm guessing in 2008 she'll be mated back up with the KUBER. Perhaps she'll spend next year undergoing modifications in Erie. We'll see.

Today's THOMPSON/THOMPSON JR update: the pair is due in Stoneport on Tuesday to load.
