The photo above right shows the wheel of the VOYAGER at an unknown marine ways and on unknown date, it would be easy to say that the photo was taken during August, 1918  prior to the VOYAGER being put back in the water after nine months at the Ways, but this is not known.

This invoice from Pittsburgh Coal Company, who owned Elizabeth Marine Ways at the time of this invoice, to Crucible Steel shows the sale of the bell from the Steamer VOYAGER to Crucible Steel.  JW wrote in his journal that the VOYAGER was at the Elizabeth Marine Ways during this time period having major repairs that took several weeks to complete.
