The Steamers CHARLEY JUTTE and CRUCIBLE are mentioned in the journal on September 26, 1912  when the boat is at the Elizabeth Marine Ways,  JW mistakenly writes the W. C. JUTTE as the name of the boat before it becomes the CRUCIBLE.    

 

 Steamer CRUCIBLE was built 1912. This photo was taken on August 14, 1945 by Charles E Ritts Jr as his father Capt. Charles E. Ritts Sr. took possession of the A2 (WH Colvin Jr.) and A1 (WP Snyder Jr.) for Crucible Fuel Division. While all this was going on, the CRUCIBLE floated past.     Steamer CRUCIBLE at Elizabeth Marine Ways 1938    From collection of Richard Rattinni
