He stated on that trip that the Warrior possessed more possibilities than any other inland waterway he knew of, and he has personal knowledge of most of the rivers in this country
 He is one of the largest ship owners on the Great Lakes, owning and operat- ing 10 of the biggest vessels in that serv- ice, and is thoroughly familiar with water transportation in all it's phases.
