August 26th 1980. My dad was the pilot of that boat, he and a laborer from Illinois drowned. The laborers body was found a few days after the accident. My dads remains were found by one of Ingrams dredging crew close to Lockhart rd. in the Ohio river in July of 2005 and identified by DNA in early 2007.
