| The barge James L. Kuber is the former Great Lakes steamer Reserve. It first came to the Twin Ports, pushed by the tug Victory, on April 17th, 2008. The barge was last here on July 13th, 2007 when it was the steamer Reserve. She left on the 14th. The power plant was taken out and the superstructure, the two decks above the main deck at the bow of the boat were removed and a notch was added so a tug could move in and connect to the vessel. Why was it done? One reason was the reduction in crew needed to operate a tug as opposed to a Great Lakes steamer. The tug only needs a crew of about 14 while the Reserve had a crew of at least 25. |
