On his list of Freight Barges that were at the Elizabeth Marine Ways, JW writes that a Model Barge AIDA was at the EMW on August 28, 1912.  It is my belief that this is a mis-spelling and that the barge was actually the ADA. I do not have any documentation to support my theory and I base this belief primarily on the name AIDA being an uncharacteristic name for a river craft during this period of time. Comments are welcome.
