This one was pretty far from shore which makes the audio faint and the video was short due to rain. Kinda cool how they keep underway while taking on stores. The boat, one of ACBL’s largest boats on the Lower Mississippi, is a triplescrew towboat built in 1977 by the Nashville Bridge Company, and originally called the Miss Kae D. It was rebuilt in 2010. It is 195 feet by 54 feet and runs on three EMD 16710G7C main engines providing a total of 11,100 hp. The boat has three 120inch Sound SS fiveblade propellers. Ship’s service power comes from two John Deere 6135 250 kw. gen sets
