About Adam E. Cornelius

She was the third vessel to be named the after one of the co-founders of the American Steamship Company, after the second Adam E. Cornelius had been sold and renamed the Consumers Power. The third Adam E. Cornelius was sold to Keybulk Transportation in 1973, in its turn, and a fourth vessel took up the Adam E. Cornelius name. After her sale she bore the name Sea Barge One, and was converted to an unpowered barge. After a second sale, in 1989, she was renamed the Captain Edward V. Smith. In 1991 she was renamed again, the Sarah Spencer. Her conversion to a barge included removing the vessel's original engines, and cutting a large notch in her stern.
