CNN on the M/V JOSEPH MERRICK JONES
CNN reporter Martin Savidge and his crew took a ride on the Canal Barge Company towboat M/V JOSEPH MERRICK JONES on Tuesday, August 7, for a story about the current low water conditions on the Inland Waterways and how our industry is managing through these conditions. This is another opportunity to communicate the value of our industry and the excellent work that our mariners do every day. The report aired on August 10 and CNN posted a clip on its website here.
Special thanks to Capt. Gene Waller and the crew of the M/V JOSEPH MERRICK JONES for hosting the CNN crew and providing a window into life and work on a towboat. Also thanks to Capt. Daryl Wheeler, Capt. Paul Barnes, Julie Spiers, Bill Glaeser, and Economy Boat Store for providing support and working together to successfully arrange this opportunity to tell our story.
