KEEL LAYING...

FOR

SMITH-RICE DERRICK BARGES, INC.

O PACECO PACECO LAYS KEEL PLATE: A keel plate was recently laid for Barge 3, a 215-foot by 76-foot by 15-foot derrick barge for Smith-Rice Derrick Barges, Inc. of San Fran- cisco, Calif. The barge is being built by Paceco, a division of Fruehauf Corporation, also the builders of the huge 250-ton capacity revolving derrick crane which will be tub-mounted on the barge. The capacity rating of the barge crane is 250 tons over the side at a 56-foot radius.

The rated capacity over the stern is 350 tons. Fitted with a Paceco-designed molded bow for fast towing, the barge is being built to ABS class for full ocean service and can be towed to work in any marine area in the world. The new barge and crane are scheduled to be available for work next summer. John F. Martin (left), president and general manager of Paceco, and E.R. Rice, vice president of Smith-Rice, are shown as they position the keel plate for the new derrick barge.
