Not really a fair comparison since it's a floating drydock rather than a barge, but it did travel here from China. It's passing my favorite surfing spot in the first two pics. The destroyer in the last pic is 500 feet long. http://www.hazegray.org/news/biwdock01.jpg http://www.hazegray.org/news/biwdock06.jpg http://www.hegerdrydock.com/floating8.html -- Ned Simmons |

Sure there is, in shallow shore and bay areas it would be possible. But more likely, they use movable ballast. That means both vessels sink if the cables or slings let go. -- It takes as much energy to wish as to plan. --Eleanor Roosevelt |

Brrr! And I thought SoCal water was cold... Hmm, it has been 45 years since I last surfed. I gave it up for skimboarding, then girls. -- It takes as much energy to wish as to plan. --Eleanor Roosevelt |

For a geezer like me half the fun is sitting in the water and relaxing on a nice day. -- Ned Simmons |

The barge crane is lifting the barge crane! We flew out to a rig one time, and landed on the Narwahl Barge, probably an 800 ton capacity barge. They were setting three packages on the platform. The drilling package, the living quarters package, and the motor package. Each was 350 tons. It was like watching a ballet. They were done in three hours and winching out, and we were swung over to the new platform to start assembly. Steve |
