City of Jamestown Steamer Repair Delayed to Late June
Jamestown May 2 The hull of the steamer City of Jamestown is in worse shape than expected and cannot return to service on Chautauqua Lake until mid to late June. Sandblasting revealed heavy rust and pitting below the water line, raising costs and delaying work as replacement steel plates must be sourced and fitted. Glenn Solomonson, in charge, considers burning off old paint and faces water intrusion that has further weakened the hull.
