AN UNPOWERED BARGE WAS TO PIVOT FROM ITS UPSTREAM MOORING AND SWING ALONGSIDE THE DOCK BARGE. AFTER A LOADED BARGE DEPARTED, EMPLOYEE #1, A CREWMAN ON THE TUG, HANDED THE WINCH CABLE TO THE SUPERINTENDENT ON THE BARGE FOR REPOSITIONING. THE LINE FROM THE DOCK BARGE WAS LED THROUGH THE TIMBER HEADS AND THEN HOOKED ONTO A CAVEL. THE SUPERINTENDENT THEN WENT TO OPERATE THE WINCH TO PULL THE BARGE INTO THE CURRENT. A LOOSE LINE WAS TO BE HOOKED ONTO THE TIMBER HEADS ON THE DOWNSTREAM BARGE. THE WINCH WOULD THEN RETRACT AT A RATE OF 165 FEET PER MINUTE TO MOVE THE BARGE FORWARD.
