JW
mentions the HORNET NO. 2 several times between February
14, 1900 and July 1901. The July
1901 entries are documented in the photos above.
JW
wrote as follows:
July
1, 1901 4 Lower River Boats on the Ways at one time
Iron Sides - Joseph Walton - Sam Clarke - and Valiant - Steamers
Hornet #2 and Exporter in the River.
July
20, 1901 Steamer Hornet #2 on the cradles at the rivers edge for
Cylinder Timbers Job, new ones
As
you can see in the photos above the HORNET NO. 2 is at the rivers edge, ready
for new "Cylinder Timbers Job."
I
believe this is the only entry JW made in his journal that has photos that
specifically document it.
