These pictures are of the Houma
& Banda Sea working together shifting the cooling towers for
a power plant in Astoria Queens NY. The barge they were moving was
tandem towed by the Katharine Weeks to NY. Captain Bill Morrissey
decided to go old school with the Houma and use gate lines to transit
the Berkley Bridge.
