Efforts To Raise Ernestine Towboat Fail In Kanawha River
Salvage crews failed to refloat the sunken Ernestine in the Kanawha River at the O K harbor. Captain Ralph Raike and crew planned salvage of machinery and hull later, noting a likely large hull breach and estimated replacement cost around 75000 dollars. The 110 ton wooden stern-wheeler, built in 1914, served West Columbia to Huntington runs for Union Sand and Gravel Co.
