Description
Beginning in 1892 Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation used the canalized Monongahela River for transporting coal from its mines to its mills and established a complete transportation facility, consisting of steam towboats and a fleet of steel barges. In 1921 their use of company owned towboats and barges was extended to cover distribution of manufactured products into the South, West, and Southwest using the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation’s traffic and transportation division at one time operated six river towboats and a great many barges of various types.
