In 1946, this towboat hit the inland waterways with a splash. She was outfitted with a newly designed engine and clutch, and could "move from full ahead to full astern in less than eight seconds." Once she proved herself, she became the prototype for the modern towboat.For 30 years the 300-ton Covington pushed barges of liquid cargo, usually petroleum, along a 1,000-mile stretch of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, setting the pace for America's post-war economic boom.20 years later, the visionary partners of River Valley Preservation Company saw the Covington dry-docked in Louisiana and hauled her upstream to St. Paul. They gutted the tow's inner workings, then inch by inch transformed the boat's steely chambers into cozy rooms. In 1995, the boat re-emerged with a new purpose, The Covington Inn. She and her crew welcome you aboard.
