A stunning Fall photo of Amherst Madison's M/V DR. EDWIN H. WELCH on the Kanawha River downbound passing arguably the most beautiful Capitol building in America.
She was originally the M/V JOHN H. ELLIOTT. After Amherst acquired her from Campbell Transportation Company, she was repowered, and raised the pilothouse.
She was then renamed after the President of University of Charleston Dr. Edwin H. Welch who held that position from 1989-2018, and a longtime friend of Amherst Madison’s late C.E.O. Captain Charles T. Jones.
