The Donald T. Wright was a diesel towboat with a wood hull and single prop built on the bank of the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, 1949. It was 60 feet long x 18 feet wide and powered by a 250 hp National Superior diesel engine. It was built and owned by Clarence A. "Jack" Grimm, of Pittsburgh, and named to honor Capt. Donald T. Wright, the owner-editor of The Waterways Journal. It was later sold to J. E. Crivella and in early 1956 it was bought by Malcolm Crosbie of Pittsburgh. It later burned.
