Is that the Day Peckinpaugh on the bottom left?

That's the *Universal Atlas Cement Co. No. 51,* a self-unloading cement barge (using a tunnel scraper system) that ran among Buffington, Indiana, South Chicago, and Milwaukee, built at Chicago in 1930. She's now on the Mississippi as the undocumented cement barge *Mark Twain.*
