Remark: The following information for each steamship shown in this postcard was obtained from a paper titled Snake River Steamboat Navigation written by John E. Akins in 1927 and appearing in Robert G. Bailey's book, Hell's Canyon, published in 1943:
The J. M. Hannaford
In 1899, a company of Seattle people built the steamer J. M. Hannaford at the mouth of the Potlatch. They expected to make connection with the N. P. at Potlatch. However, before this boat was completed, the Northern Pacific commenced to build up the Clearwater, and needing a boat to carry supplies to the railroad camps, they purchased the Hannaford, completed here and put her in command of Captain W. R. Thomas, who operated her from Potlatch Creek to Orofino, handling wheat and railroad material. The river became too low and in July, 1899, she was brought to Lewiston, where she laid for several years. While the North Bank Railroad was under construction, in 1905, she was taken to Pasco by Captain W. P. Gray. Captain E. W. Baughman was later master of her, handling railroad supplies for the North Bank road, then under construction.
The Steamer Lewiston
The first "Lewiston" was constructed in 1904 and was used in freight service on the upper Snake River until 1922 when she was destroyed by fire together with the Spokane while tied up at Lewiston docks. These two boats were the only ones in operation on the upper Snake River at the time and the O. W. R. & N. Company immediately ordered the J. N. Teal of Portland to Lewiston to handle the freight business while a new boat was being constructed to take the place of the burned boats.
The Spokane
In 1877, the O. S. N. established a record in boat building. A light draft boat was needed at once and Shipmaster Holland completed the Spokane in thirty-two days and 6 hours. Captain J. W. Troup was her first master. In 1877, the Spokane was used as a gunboat by General Howard to prevent the hostile Bannock Indians from crossing the Columbia River to join other Indians who were ready to go on the warpath. In fitting out the boat for this purpose, it was seen that the captain in the pilot house would be an easy target for the Indians, and to protect him, they secured well filled sacks of wool which were stood on end around the pilot house, leaving small apertures in front to permit Captain Stump, who was in command, to see to navigate his ship. The Indians being thus prevented from crossing the Columbia turned back toward the Grande Ronde River. The Spokane was immediately loaded with soldiers and proceeded up the Snake River to the mouth of the Grande Ronde River where the soldiers were unloaded in time to prevent a massacre of the white settlers in that valley. In 1882, she was used to carry stone from Granite Point, near Crum, to Ainsworth. The stone was used in the construction of a railroad bridge at that point. The Spokane was used at various times until 1898 when she was rebuilt into a modern passenger boat. This was the last passenger boat built by the company.
The Run of the Norma
Jacob Kamm and J. D. Miller built in 1891, the steamer Norma -- just below the Huntington bridge, expecting to handle an extensive business in transporting copper ore from the vicinity of Seven Devils. The Norma's experience was similar to that of the Shoshone, twenty-five years before. The business did not develop and she never earned a dollar for her owners. She was a large freight-carrying boat, with eight foot draft and was equipped with engines 16x48 inches. In the month of May, 1895, Captain W. P. Gray brought her to Lewiston in safety. She was leased to the O. W. R. & N. Co., at different times and used on the Riparia-Lewiston run until 1906, when the National Rank Railroad leased her and she was used in construction work. During the building of the Deschutes Railroad she was used for a ferry across the Columbia, and until the completion of the present bridge, just above Celilo Falls -- before the completion of the Celilo locks. And thence to Portland where she has since been dismantled.
The Mountain Gem
The following year [1904] the Mountain Gem was built at Lewiston to take her [Steamer Imnaha] place. Captain Harry Baughman, being her master. Soon after she was put into service, Captain W. P. Gray took command. She was soon withdrawn from the upper Snake River and for a time handled wheat shipments from Asotin and points above, the transfer being made to the Northern Pacific at Lewiston. When the state Portage road was completed at Celilo, in 1905, she made the first trip through to Celilo. She was in command of Captain W. P. Gray, in the open river service, operating from Celilo to Pasco, until the fall of 1906, when she was brought to Riparia, the O. W. R. & N. Company having leased her. She was placed in command of J. E. Akins. She was used in the freight service between Lewiston and Riparia, until June, 1907. Then she was sold to Seattle interests and was taken to Pasco by Captain R. L. Baughman where she was used in the Kennewick, White Bluff and Hanford service for several years.

CEA were employed by CATERPILLAR Thailand to unload and transfer welding machines & other equipment at their UGM plant in Chonburi.
Assistant Yard Manager Virasak Sriboon began the project by holding a toolbox talk and joint hazard analysis (JHA) meeting with his teams.
Trucks and their cargo formed a queue and one by one pulled alongside a CEA 55 ton crane to begin unloading. The CEA team removed all lashing straps and attached the crane slings to the cargoes. The crane lifted the cargoes on to an awaiting 25 & 15 T forklifts. The forklifts transported the cargo to the Caterpillar storage area, a CEA banksman supervised all movements.
Day 2
CEA teams unloaded cargo crates from 40ft Containers at their respective cargo docks, a 3 ton forklift was used to place the crates on wooden pallets for easier storage, once again the cargo was transported to the storage area.
All scrap material left over from the project was cleared for disposal. Flat rack containers used in the operation were stacked on to one lowboy trailer. General housekeeping was carried out in the working areas.
All CEA equipment was demobilized and readied for transport back to the operations base in Laem Chabang.
