The Amoco Indiana (well, most of her hull anyway) is still in service as the cement barge St. Mary's Conquest. The Illinois and Wisconsin were scrapped in the early/mid 1980's. According to Bowling Green they were sold to DM&W Steel of Windsor for scrapping.

Gary,

The Amoco Indiana was converted into the barge of a tug/barge vessel in 1986 by Medusa. She has sailed since then as the Medusa/Southdown/St Marys Conquest. See her BoatNerd page here:

The Amoco Illinois was scrapped in 1986. Good info page here:

The Amoco Wisconsin was scrapped in 1985. Good info page here:

I am trying to find the status of the Amoco Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. If these ships have been scrapped, I would like to know where they were scrapped. Thank yo for your help.
