Crew Change


Ever now and then you catch a riverboat seemingly stopped in the middle of the Ohio River. Although it is not actually stopped, it is maintaining its position by idling against the current. The exploded view of the picture shows the crew preparing the jon boat to make a trip to shore and switch crews. The process takes about 30 minutes and then the tow and its barges are on it's way downriver.
