Rolling on the Virtual River
Paducah's river industry is celebrating the christening of Seamen's Church new high-tech computer simulators, which are the most realistic representation of piloting a towboat down a river to date at the maritime training center. Other improvements have also been made such as an installation of beautiful art photography of life on the river.
Father David Ridder of Seaman's Church Institute of New York and New Jersey oversees the largest maritime ministry in the nation for the Episcopal Church and was in Paducah to visit with Rotarians and the community with an open house at the Paducah training center. "It's the most advanced technology on the planet," said Father Ridder.
Seamen's Church is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year, which has been providing maritime training since 1890. They expanded into inland waterway training with the opening of the Paducah Center in the 1990's.
Rear Admiral Mary Landry of the U.S. Coast Guard also announced that the Coast Guard would be opening a Center for Expertise, which will train coast guard members more about becoming regulators and facilitators of the inland waterways industry.
Craig Phillip, President and CEO of Ingram Barge, was clearly pleased with the new developments. "Paducah has taken another huge step in firmly being the capital of the inland towing business," he said.
