Correct my friend................... your turn.

Here is a link to the STV Lawrence II website

Just goes to show that you can kill anything if you simply hit it enough times...
Thank you.

It's a shame we didn't have anything like that along the Gulf Coast when I was coming up- or rather, that we didn't have the tech to find out whether we had something like that. I've always enjoyed being on the water and have always wanted to learn to sail...

Anyway, I have a good one here- a little tribute to my Grandfather, who once worked on one:

Still pushing barges, BTW.

wow this is a good one my i pry for a hint

It's a tricky one I concede, I know nothing about US paddlers But its a two worded name "Lady something"?

EDIT; after having a quick think and a looksie I found this

Lady Lois?

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

This sweet lady was built in Nashville, and has gone under a lot of bridges in her day. She got her current name in 1976, carrying three names prior to the one she carries today. She is also a movie star, having parts in films in 1982 and 1983 (source does not identify). Her heartbeat was built just over a decade it's creator became an 'evil cooperation' and she's been doing the job of 500 horses ever since.

Lots of information in there, hopefully cryptically encoded so as not to help TOO much.


EDIT: Rodondo got it... so here's her vital statistics so you can see where the hint would have lead:

Lady Lois
Length 100 feet - Width 20 feet - Sternwheel GM series 60 500 HP
Built 1928 by Nashville Bridge Co., Nashville, TN
Originally Catherine D
Renamed C. A. Irvin
Renamed Graco
Renamed Lady Lois 8/1976

wow looks like you got it

Excellent work, Rodondo!

You may fire when ready.

"Fire!"

Without doubt, one of my all time favorites, she is quite the looker!
