Mitchell Is Burned After Collision On Kanawha River
The steam vessel W. C. Mitchell burned after grounding on a sandbar at Concord Kentucky Sunday night following a collision with the Steamer Waconta of the Ohio River Line. No lives were lost and no injuries reported. The Mitchell, built in Point Pleasant in 1906, operated for Hatfield Campbell’s Creek Coal Co and was running in place of the General Ashburn which sank at Reed, West Virginia last Christmas Eve. Captain Charles Young commanded the Mitchell with chief engineer Charles Atkinson and fireman Pokey Watson aboard. The vessel named George Matheson earlier was renamed W. C. Mitchell in honor of a local coalman’s brother. The Mitchell was one of three wooden boats on the Kanawha River, along with the Duhus Fleshman and the James Sutherland, and hauled coal between Kanawha Valley and Cincinnati for 38 years.
