River Boat Visit Includes Queen Elizabeth Skipper
Captain Dana Wright of Jefferson Boulevard reports Commodore Harry Grattidge a former Queen Elizabeth skipper rode the Weber W. Sebald in Cincinnati on Monday. Grattidge said he had never been aboard a river boat and noted the Sebald’s 166 foot length versus the Elizabeth’s 1200. He recalled crossing the ocean over 400 times and ferrying about 15,000 American troops to Europe biweekly, with General Eisenhower as a passenger once. Grattidge joined the trip at the invitation of Frederick W. Geiser, Cincinnati Machine Co. president and Armco director, and they have been friends through many ocean crossings.
