Keel Laying Ceremony At

Trinity Yard

There was a keel laying ceremony at Trinity Marine Group's Equitable

Yard in New Orleans on August 9, 1993, for the first of two 85-foot towboats being constructed for the

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a total of $6 million.

An option for a third vessel, if exercised, would bring the contract value to $9 million.

The vessel, which will be be called the Fred Lee, will have a 30-foot beam and a 10-foot draft.

It will be powered by two Cater- pillar 3512 diesel engines driving through Reintjes reverse/reduction gears. Electrical power will be pro- vided by two Caterpillar 3304 die- sels driving 65 kW generators.

Delivery of the ship is scheduled for May, 1994. The boat will be assigned to the Vicksburg, Miss, dis- trict for work on the Red River.

The second of the two boats, the

Bettendorf, will be of equal length but not a sistership to the Fred Lee.

Construction will begin in Septem- ber, with delivery planned for June, 1994.

Fred Lee, for whom this first vessel was named, worked for the

Corps of Engineers for 43 years.

Equitable has also begun con- struction of the $35 million, 322- foot Queen of New Orleans gaming
