Nettleton Products Shipped By Barge And Scow To Florida

Deck officers on the open sea, between Puget Sound and Florida waters, during the next 35 days will-gaze with wonderment at the tow of Nettleton lumber en route from our member mills to Miami because the sight is something unusual. Approximately one mile long, it is bound to attract attention.

First on board the two sea-going barges is almost three million feet of Nettleton forest products lumber and lath which we trust will aid considerably in the present Florida building program. The tugs Arago and Helen S. with the sea-going barges and three scows are intended to relieve the present lighterage situation in Miami harbor.

Loading the scows on the decks of the Dacula and W. T. & B. No. 38 was accomplished by drydocking the scows, loading -them on top of framework erected on still larger scows, then rolling them over the rails of the larger to their present position. Capt. Haines of the Washington Tug g Balgg Co., superintended the loading and will be oi hand in Miami on their arrival there to diicharge the equip- ment and look after their interests while engaged irr the lighterage business.

The tug "Roosev€It," which is towing the equipment, has an interesting history of its own. It rvas the vessel on which Peary made his famous dash for the North pole, es- pecially equipp.ed for encounter with ice floes it has many peculiar qualities. Its sides protected with teak me..u.-. six feet in thickness and her pbrverful engines are expectecl to hav_e this long drag off Miami harborln 35 days itea-i"g._ F9l ocean towing her unusual weight and power are invaluable assets.-Nettleton "Cargo Reiiew.',
