Record miles of inland steamer rival battleships on voyage
Washington February 25. Inland fleet records show the H. H. Rogers of United States Steel carrying 232,567 gross tons of ore in 29 trips over about 44 000 ties. It logged 4 640 miles through canals without a single accident, challenging claims that large river vessels cant operate inland. The piece argues for waterways development with government funding and expanded lake commerce. It notes broader growth: bigger lake ships, better docks, dredging, and policy support.
