Bay Shipbuilding Progressing

With Construction

Of Sea-Land Containerships machinery space, was floated for- ward to its completion position in the dock. Each ship will be powered by a low-speed Mitsui/B&W 7L70MC diesel rated at 22,000 bhp.

The third event took place just three days later, when the keel was laid for Hull 737 in the after end of the graving dock. Erection began immediately on the after end of

Hull 737, the final vessel in the three-ship series.

When Hull 736 is ready to be floated out of the dock and moved to an outfitting pier, three large intermediate gate sections will be installed to isolate Hull 737 from the flooding waters of Sturgeon Bay.

After pump-out of the dock, the three gate sections will be removed and erection of Hull 737 will be completed in its present location.

This float-out/float-forward proce- dure allows Bay maximum utiliza- tion of its graving dock, making it an efficient tool in ship construction and repair.

Bay Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of

The Manitowoc Company, is one of the largest and most modern ship- yards on America's "North Coast," the Great Lakes.

The Wisconsin shipyard contin-

Bay Ship Hull No. 736 (foreground) being floated forward in graving dock. In back- ground is Hull No. 735, having just been floated out of the dock, being towed to an outfitting pier for completion.

Bay Shipbuilding Corporation of

Sturgeon Bay, Wise., recently at- tained three major milestones in the construction of three D-7 container- ships being built for Sea-Land Ser- vice. Hull 735, the first of the 710- foot vessels in the series, was floated out of Bay's 1,158-foot graving dock and berthed at one of the yard's out- fitting piers. On the same day, the after end of Hull 736, including the ues to pursue both new construction and vessel repair projects. Presently under contract, in addition to the three Sea-Land containerships, are two 6,000-cubic-yard, hydro-dump barges for Great Lakes Dredge &

Dock Company.
