Etowah was located just north of Cartersville Georgia in former Cass County. The Iron Works were destroyed by the Union Army in 1864 and after the War the area remained in ruins. <br /> <br /> From from the Dictionary of North Carolina Biography 6 volumes edited by William S. Powell:<br /> <br /> "Moses Stroup the eldest son of Jacob was born in Lincoln County N.C. With little formal schooling he was brought up in the iron business. Many contemporaries considered him to be one of the "most expert furnacemen" in the South and a "remarkable genius" in the iron business as well as a good money-maker but a "poor keeper." He accompanied his father to South Carolina about 1815 and when Jacob moved to Georgia in the late 1820s Moses stayed behind. But in 1843 he joined his father at Cass County Ga. and bought him out. Moses built a rolling mill and rolled some of the first railroad iron made in Georgia some of which was used on the state-owned Western and Atlantic. In 1847 he sold the Cass County works to Mark Anthony Cooper and Company and shortly moved to Alabama where he bought ore lands from the government and began the Round Mountain Furnace in 1849". <br /> <br /> From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> Bartow County was created from the Cherokee lands of the Cherokee County territory on December 3 1832 and named Cass County after General Lewis Cass 1782–1866 Secretary of War under President Andrew Jackson Minister to France and Secretary of State under President James Buchanan3 who was instrumental in the removal of Native Americans from the area. However the county was renamed on December 6 1861 in honor of Francis S. Bartow because of Cass's support of the Union4 even though Bartow never visited in the county living 200 miles 320 km away near Savannah all of his life. Cass had supported the doctrine of popular sovereignty the right of each state to determine its own laws independently of the Federal government the platform of conservative Southerners who removed his name. The first county seat was at Cassville but after the burning of the county courthouse and the Sherman Occupation the seat moved to Cartersville where it remains. n.p. unknown

Designed by Jacob Kamm the Ocean Wave was 180 feet long 29 feet at the beam and depth of hold at 9 feet with a much larger deck which was cantilevered out to accommodate the side-wheeler configuration and grossed 725 tons. She was powered by two James Rees & Co. steam engines 24 foot sidewheels fitted with 10 foot planks over 10 feet long and capable of 18 miles per hour.

In 1897 Kamm’s co-owner of the IR &N maneuvered to lease out the Ocean Wave to the Columbia River & Puget Sound Navigation Co. “White Line†to compete with Kamm’s Vancouver Transportation Co. then operated on the Puget Sound from 1897 to 1899 and finally as a ferry operating in San Francisco Bay from 1899 to 1911 and was the first ferry placed in service by the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway.

First built and launched by Jacob Kamm with John Ainsworth the hull was 153 feet with overall length of 175 feet beam of 30 feet and 6 foot depth of hold. The initial configuration featured a two-cylinder engine built by The Harlen & Hollingsworth Co. of Wilmington DE and a locomotive-style boiler built by Ward Stanton & Co. in New Burgh NY. With a three foot draft and top speed of 17 miles per hour the Lurline was able to sail for the Vancouver Transportation Co. on the Willamette Columbia and Lewis Rivers with fairly easy clearance.
