BEAUFORT, M. C. YQUI HABDWABE SHOPPING CERTEB salvage operations were conducted j on (he Manhatten. a passenger liner which uent aground ofi tfre coa* of Florida near Palm Beach. Merritt -Chapman and Scot, the sal vage tirm working on the Seacon hkt, took 30 days to pull the liner off the sand. Staton Moore, quar termaster first class aboard the Conifer, was among the Coast Guardsmen who worked to save the lives of passengers aboard the Mor ro Castle which burned and beach ed in September of 1934 off Asbury Park, N. J., with a total loss of 134 liVes. At approximately 6:30 Tuesday night, the Conifer took in 250 feet of its hawser and began to scour the sand at the bow and shore side of the Seaconnet at close range. During this operation the hawser snapped from chaffing in its hous ing aboard the Seaconnet. Sound ings mado later showed that the scouring had had a noticeable ef feet on the water depth around the bow of the grounded ship. Modern Equipment After the Cable arrived, the Coast Guard ships were given stand by positions and the Conifer was released from the operation Wednesday morning. The sea-going tug is one of the most modern sal vage ships in the world. Equipped with every facility for working on ships in distress, the Cable was de scribed by a Coast Guard officer as "really stowed." In March, 1948, the Cable v .? the salvage tug which salvaged the motor vessel, Norfolk, after it went aground here. The Coast Guard saved 22 men from the Nor folk at that time. The salvage master aboard the Cable held extensive conferences with the captain of the Seaconnet and other officers Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. No ser ious effort was made to refloat the freighter at high tide Wednesday ( morning, and the Cable continued I the scouring operations at the sides and bow of the Seaconnet first started by the Conifer. At about 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, the Cable started setting out the beach gear. The anchors | which afe put in the sand during 1 such operations have tremendous j { holding power and the steam winches used to pull the boat out exert 60 tons of pressure on the j anchors and steel cable. A representative of the Wilming- ' ton Shipping company of Wilming ton, N. C\. which operates the Sea- ! connet reported that after refuel- j ing at the local port terminal the; vessel would continue to Europe. ! According to unofficial reports, strikes which have tied up north ern ports necessitated the Seacon net coming to Morehead City to fuel. The shipping official sakl that jiqpierous checks inqde in the hull ofcthe collier revealed thai no leaks had developed during the ground ing of the ship.
