Tugboat Jennifer Jean Burned At Kanauga Fire Damages $20000
A 36 year old Kanauga tugboat named Jennifer Jean owned by M. G. Transport Co was gutted by a fire Saturday morning near the Kanauga landing. Firemen from Gallipolis fought the blaze using booster water from a Gallipolis truck and river water. The diesel boat built in 1923 at Grafton had previously aided rescues and faced danger when fuel threatened to explode. Captain William A. J. Duflier moved other vessels away as flames spread to nearby boats.
