In regards to rivet vs. welding discussions held in this forum some time ago, notice the riveting in the lower left hand corner of this photo. It appears to be around the corners of the hatch comings and a few deck plates.Al wrote:R.C. Stanbrook on the right aboard the Cason J. Callaway on the morning of her trial run on Sept. 13, 1952.

I also started sailing in 1971. Stayed on the Clarke thru 1978. Last year I sailed was on the Watson, 1979. Think personnel director was George Morgan. He was still personnel when they move the office to Duluth. It was John Young after George Morgan. I agree, it was a culture shock.standuffer wrote:I sailed on the Cason J.

P.S. Standuffer, when were you on the Callaway?
Shortly after graduating from high school, my grandfather, Reginald C. Stanbrook, former Chief Engineer of The Pittsburgh Steamship Co. (1942-1959?) with help from a Mr. Martin?, personnel director of the fleet in Cleveland, got me my Seaman's Card and a job sailing with USS Great Lakes Fleet. I was called to catch the Lamont, as a wiper, in Lorain but had insufficient time to make her departure. Four days later I was called on a Saturday morning and told to report to the Callaway, as a deck hand, in Gary IN, before her scheduled departure on Sunday at 1000 hrs. After a day or two of total 'culture shock' I settled into the day-by-day, up bound, down bound, day after day, life aboard a Great Lakes bulk freighter.

Worked on the Clarke before and after lengthening and before boom. She was a good boat to work on.standuffer wrote:Seems nice to see her with out the unloading gear,
