Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Adam E. Cornelius" in English language version.
In 1902, Adam E. Cornelius went to work for John J. Boland who hired him to do clerical work for six dollars a week. His acute business sense soon became apparent and quickly led to the Boland & Cornelius partnership.
The M/V Adam E. Cornelius is powered by two 3500 HP General Motors Electro Motive Division (EMD) diesel engines. The vessel uses a conveyor system below its cargo holds to transport cargo to an inclined conveyor system that elevates the cargo to the deck-mounted boom conveyor. For maneuvering in port, the vessel is equipped with 1,000 HP bow and stern thrusters.
The barge Sarah Spencer started its Great Lakes career as the powered steamer Adam E. Cornelius. It was built at Manitowoc, Wisconsin as hull #424 in 1959 and was named for one of the two founding members of American Steamship who had recently died in 1953. It was similar in appearance to AmShip's other steamers McKee Sons and Sharon but the Cornelius was a one off design.
