New Steel-Hulled Towboat
For Shallow Water Service
Is Launched At Reedsport
By S. S. SMILEY
News-Review Correspondent
Launching Sunday afternoon
of the Umpqua No. 3, steel-hulled
towboat, from the Umpqua Riv
er Navigation Co.'s boatshop in
Reedsport drew an interested
crowd of spectators. The tradi
tional bottle of champagne was
broken across the bow of the
new craft before it left the ways,
by Miss Lois Ann Leach, daugh
ter of Captain G. M. Leach of
the Westport.
Miss Leach will he a senior
in the Reedsport High School
next year. Greatly thrilled at
the honor of being asked to spon
sor the launching of the new
towboat, she was still further
thrilled Immediately following
the launching, when O. H. Hins
dale, manager of the Company,
presented her with a beautiful
new wrist watch.
Aboard the boat when she was
launched were Capt. Willis Koog
ler, former deckhand on the Ti
ger, who will now have charge
of the Umpqua; his brother, Ken
neth Koogler, who will serve as
his deckhand; and C. H. Ben
nett, who had charge of instal
ling the motor in the new craft.
Bennett has long been inter
ested in the use of steel hulls
for this type of boat and finally
persuaded Mr. Hinsdale to have
one built when he needed a re
placement for the Adel, lost in
an accident on the Umpqua Riv
er last spring during a freshet
The boat, entirely of welded
steel plates, even to the pilot
house and engine room, was built
at Hood River, Ore., in a shop
specializing in such work, and
shipped here by truck. The cat
erpillar marine dlesel motor was
installed here.
The boat is 32 feet long, shal.
low draft and exceptionally wide
beam. Her bow is reinforced with
a piece of corrugated metal to
prevent damage when striking
logs. She has large fuel tanks,
located so that the trim and
draft of the boat can be ad
justed by this method.
As soon as a few minor ad
justments are made, the boat
will be taken up-river for use
in spotting boom-sticks and log
rafts. Heavy rubber matting has
been used to cover the decks.
The original Umpqua was a
steam-powered craft, used for
both freight and passenger work
on the Umpqua and Smith Riv
ers, where water craft was the
only means of transportation be-
