Longtime Businelle Towing Vessel Nears End Of The Line - The Waterways Journal

February 5, 2021 By Frank McCormack The mv. Kathleen has been tripping tows through the locks between the Lower Mississippi River at Baton Rouge, La., and the bayous that connect to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) for close to 70 years. For that entire time, the Kathleen has been part of the Businelle Towing family, now in its fifth generation of family leadership. Their family story, and that of the Kathleen, is one firmly connected to the waterways of south Louisiana and the maritime industry that thrives there. “I think they started building it in about 1950, and they christened it in 1952,” said John Wayne Businelle, the third-generation, semi-retired owner-operator of Businelle Towing and Pelican Ship Yard & Machine Shop, where the Kathleen was built.
