J. C. STEWART ONCE AGAIN Two photos courte­ sy Ralph Roberts, of Saginaw, show J. C. STEWART dif­ ferently than we could show her be­ fore. The view at left shows her un­ der construction at the Johnston Bros. yard at Ferrysburg, Michigan, in 1915. The view below has her as COL. M. J. McDONOUGH at the Stadium Boat Works at Cleveland, cir­ ca 1938. The tug J. C. STEWART was Ship of the Month No. 266 in the January issue. We had a number of questions about her career, the greatest of them being what happened to her between 1917 or 1918 and 1924 when she was acquired by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Even our most indefatigable researchers have not been able to resolve that question. But we do know now that her correct U. S. number was 213529 which she was given when built in the U. S. A. in 1915. Also we now can say that her fore-and-aft compound engine was built by the firm of Wilson & Hausler, Montague, Michigan, 1915, and her Scotch boiler in the same year by Johnston Bros. There were two furnaces with 40 square feet of grate surface and 1, 316 square feet of heating surface. The rest of the engine and boiler data we gave earlier was correct. For their help with this additional information, we extend sincere thanks to Bill Schell and Ralph Roberts.
