I received the following e-mail, referring to the Rochester area. Does
anyone have any thing to add? Let me know and I'll pass the information on.

...my husband lived aboard a Hedger Cement  Barge during the depression
because his father was the capt and families were  permitted to live
aboard. He has much information about that life and about the  school on
Pearl St that was there strictly for children of the canal and barge
families. Do you know anything about this? Do you anyone who would be
interested  in the information? I cannot find any written history about
this unique  situation and would like it recorded before it is too late,
there are few of  these people about any longer.
