Bisso Marine Completes

Salvage Of Dredge

Port Arthur

Bisso Marine Company, Inc. of

New Orleans, La., has completed the salvage operation of the dredge

Port Arthur on the Mississippi River at New Orleans. The vessel report- edly listed and sank on its port side.

Raising of Port Arthur by Bisso Marine

The first phase of the operation required the removal of the ladder and gallows frame. Steel salvage straps, one three foot and two four foot, were placed under the vessel and secured to the starboard side so it could be rolled to an upright position.

A third Bisso derrick, was then brought to the scene and all three derricks were used to raise the 1,400- ton vessel to the surface.
