Unnamed Steel Oil Barge (barge)

This barge was carried up on the beach north of Long Beach, Washington, after being cut loose from the tug Tidewater Shaver off Columbia bar buoy No. 5, when she and the barge Intrepid threatened to carrry the tug into dangerous waters. Cut free February 22, 1954, at 9 p. m., the barge drifted up on the beach the following day. The 100 foot barge was being towed to Portland from Honolulu when she came to grief. James A.
