Parts 1 and 2 of our story revealed the unexpected origins of Port Cargill, a shipyard in a most unlikely location. Part 3, the final chapter, discusses the nuts and bolts of launch, how the AOGs entered wartime service, and what became of them. Scott County History: link |

I stayed overnight at the house of a friend's father.
The father lived in Hernando, Mississippi and had
been a riverman for over 70 years. My sojourn was in
1982. One room of his home was full of photo albums he had
compiled during his life. The site where the AO's were
built was included in the album collection, along with
photo's of all sorts of ships built and sailed downriver
to the Gulf, some complete while others went to 'finishing
yards.' Haven't heard from my friend for 3-4 years and I often
wonder what happened to those photo's taken and preserved
by his father. |
