Spectacular
Unloading for
Two Barges Here
SEATTLE, June 8—The largesl
bulk shipment ever to go from Se
attle to Alaska on the deck of a
ship was loaded aboard the Alaska
Steamship Co. freighter Tonsina
this morning at Pier 42.
Two huge oil barges, destined
for the Lomen Commercial Co., in
Nome, were lifted out of the wat
er and swung onto the specially
prepared deck of the freighter.
The steel barges are 80 feet long,
30 feet wide, and have a depth of
6 feet. The Tonsina measures
about 60 feet at her widest point,
leaving about 10 feet of the barge
protruding on either side of the
ship.
The oil barges, weighing 75 tons
each, were lifted out of the water
by a 100-ton (limited to lifting 85
tons) Foss floating crane. Once
they reach Nome, first port of call
for the Tonsina, the unloading
procedure will be a little more
spectacular.
The ballast of the ship will be
shifted to one side. Then cables
will pull the barges on specially
greased bases, so they slide over
the side of the ship into the water.
Once they hit the water, their own
momentum will carry them away
from the ship.
Two gasoline tanks are accom
panjing the barge^to Nome. They
have a diameter of 9Vfc feet, are
36 feet long, and weigh 11 tons
each. ,
