I didn't know that the barge had been raised before Brown arrived. Interesting. I don't believe that Guthrie commanded the Albemarle. I have a question back. There is an outfit called cottage industries that markets a kit for an Arkansas model. It looks like a nice unit and the details are consistent with the common wisdom about the vessel, but I wonder where they got their information or drawings to do the model? Does anyone know? I ran into a website that had a lot of detail about putting one together that had some modern line drawings for components and views. I'm just wondering where the original layout drawing came from. I also wonder where the builder of a model of the Missouri featured in Jeter's A Man and his Boat got his layout information. He uses two funnels riverboat style, but I've always heard that she had a single funnel and forced air draft for the boilers.
