Investigation Summary
A DERRICK BARGE (77 FEET LONG BY 35 FEET WIDE) WAS USED TO RAISE THE BOW OF A DREDGE TENDER (A TUG BOAT 45 FEET LONG BY 18 FEET WIDE) SO THAT A HOLE IN THE HULL COULD BE PATCHED. WHEN LAST SEEN, EMPLOYEE #1, DECK CAPTAIN OF THE DREDGE, WAS WORKING ALONE, SITTING ON HIS WORK VEST, WELDING. HE WAS LOCATED ABOUT 4 FEET FROM THE EDGE OF THE DERRICK BARGE'S DECK. THERE WERE NO WITNESSES, BUT APPARENTLY EMPLOYEE #1 SLIPPED AND FELL OVERBOARD. HE DROWNED IN APPROXIMATELY 24 FEET OF WATER.
