	The "J. K. Graves," launched in 1885 by the Iowa Iron Works in cooperation with the [[DIAMOND JO LINE]], was a giant raft-boat used to push rafts of logs to the mills. (6) Steel-hulled packets for carrying freight and passengers included the "Cherokee," the company's first boat of this type. The "Cherokee" boasted electric lights and the capability of carrying up to one thousand passengers. Constructing the "Ferdinand Herold" required 125 workers and cost $80,000. Railroad ferries with track laid on the deck were constructed to transport trains across the Mississippi where bridges were temporarily out of service.		The "J. K.

	It was widely believed for a time in May 1891 that the company would relocate to St. Louis. Most of the business done by the company was for businesses south of that city. Relocation would make transportation of the products cheaper. Working against the move was the fact that company officials had already purchased more land in Dubuque with the intent of building a larger plant. (9) The company chose not to move.
