on U. S. Army BC Barges comprised these
four-anchor mooring consisting of two 30,000pound Skagit winches on the stern corners and
two double bitts on the bow corners. With this

the barges on a predetermined location as had
been donein the past.
All barges were equipped with a jib crane
of 114-ton capacity, 10-foot swing, and a clear
