Barge Raised From Wawesee Lake A lake barge 75 feet long, used years ago in transporting marl on Lake Wawasee, was raised last week from the lake bottom, in the channel near Macy's Slip, by John Sudlow and his crew of men from the Sudlow Pier Shop. The barge had been in the lake for 126 years, and boats going In and out of the channel had for all those years been swinging out around the sunken craft. The barge was estimated to weigh by itself 88 tons, and it carried several feet of mud in its hold, so that the raising of the craft presented a major engineering problem. Mr. Sudlow® first sunk a series of 15*0*0 and 10Wgallon steel tanks alongside the barge, chaining them fast. Then by pumping the steel tanks full of air, the old barge at last pulled free and came to the surface. It took 47,000 pounds of life to pull it from the bottom. After pumping out the barge, it has proved to be quite seaworthy, and in good condition, with only a few minor leaks. It was taken up near Waco, but later moved to a channel off Highland View. Mr. Sudlow has not yet decided what he can or will do with the boat. The barge was used originally in hauling marl from various sections of the lake to the shipping point, located where Macy’s boat house is now. A railroad there provided transportation for shipment. Some i 216 years ago the barge was used by the Yoder Excavating Company in work on some of the channels at Wawasee. It finally settled at the point where it rested/2i& years. The barge is 17i5 feet long, 2*6 fest in width and five feet in depth. Rotary Club Meets The Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary club met Monday night at the Pickwick grill, with 34 members present. Several members were attending a district meeting, held 3 at Wabash that same time. Wilfred Beck, who was released just recently from U. S. army duty, after serving 9 months in Korea and 9 months in Japan, was guest speaker. Mr. Beck gave the Rotarians a “G. I. view” of what has been going on in Korea. It was not a “pretty” picture, but one that every American should have knowledge of.
