"Nov. 5, 1939
Steamer Harry T. Ewig
upbound with pig iron to
Saginaw
Bay City Mich.
Taken from bridge tower."
Glad to know Mr. Borucki made it home to Bay City every now and then. Not sure what bridge had a tower in 1939; perhaps the Third Street drawbridge?
This ship was launched in 1902 at Chicago Shipbuilding as a 366' bulk carrier named W.W. Brown. She was renamed Baltic in 1920, John W. Ailes in 1922, and Harry T. Ewig in 1926. She'd just been converted to a crane ship when this photo was taken. She'd be retired in 1964, when Bay Shipbuilding would cut her into two barges (named Lighter No. 1 and Lighter No. 2). At least one, and perhaps both, of the barges sank off Frankfort on 10/29/1965 (my sources are confusing).
Harry Ewig was treasurer of Valley Camp Coal when this ship was named after him. He'd started in the industry as a miner in 1906, at the age of 18. He enlisted in the army in 1917; after this service he joined Valley Camp's Cleveland office and was elected treasurer in 1923. In 1933 he was elected company president, a position he held until 1946. It looks like he was subsequently Valley Camp's chairman of the board, then chairman emeritus.
Ewig also served on the board of Oglebay Norton, Columbia Transportation's parent, from 1936 through 1946. He passed away in 1986 at the age of 98. (Greenwood's Namesakes has Ewig's promotion dates wrong, which is unusual. I went looking for newspaper accounts because it didn't make obvious sense to name a ship after some youngster in the office.)
