           Did you know that the Jackson Iron Company had its own fleet of ships to service the needs of Fayette?  They owned the schooners “Fayette Brown” and “J.B. Kitchen”, the tugs “S. S. Rummage” and “Jo Harris” and six scows.    

Here is an actual photograph of the schooner "J. B. Kitchen" under sail.
