WORDEN, OUTLOADING OF EQUIPMENT AT FORT WORDEN.
On about 20 November 1947, Captain TC, Water Division,
Seattle P of E and Captain @iimm TC, Commanding Officer, 447th Port
Company arrived at Fort Worden for a preliminary conference concerning
the organization of a branch port at Fort Worden for the outloading of
the AKA 93 "Yancey". Captaingg@iims and CaptainQM met with Major
GMMR, S-3, 532d EB&SR,
It was decided that the AKA 93 would anchor
about 300 yards off-shore and flat top barges would be used for lightering the supplies and equipment from the Fort Worden docks to ship
side.
Two problems arose out of this plan; first was the task of
loading the heavy equipment from the dock to the barges; the second was
the moving of the barges from the docks to the ship.
The problem of
Lifting was easily solved by utilizing the 2d ESB,ftoating crane (30
ton capacity), the second was also solved by the utilization of the
Brigade's LCM's as tugs and lighterage.
Plans were made to move Captain@ Company to Fort Worden
