Dredge Cuts Channel
(Continued from P?gf 1)
each, 10 men on each watch. The
first mate, the position Captain
Midgett* held before becoming
muster, supervises the crew. The
dredge never tied up except on
weekends or when bad weather
made them come in.
The Gerig can carry 3.060 cubic
yards of dredged material as Cap
tain Charlie Piner, pilot, describes
it. Ma load about as big as the
Morehead City postoffice." And
that much stuff can be sucked up
from the bottom in 45 minutes.
Dredges like the Gerig have been
rightly called "sea-going vacuum
cleaners." The Gerig takes up its
load of dredged material and then
goes out to deep water to dump
it. Here the entire operation,
sucking up the sand and dumping,
require about an hour and a half.
The sand was dropped from the
dredge about a mile out at sea.
Water Flows Out
Dredged up with the sand of
course is a lot of water which
flows out over the lop of 30-foot
hopper bins through a spillway.
There are two "drags" or suc
tion pipes, mammoth things, on
each side of the dredge. Sometimes
these drags suck up more than
sand. One time in waters south of
here they pulled in an eleven
hundred pound buoy anchor. The
anchor wasn't even noticed til the
men on watch felt "something was
wrong with the pump."
The heavy weight had been
sucked up to the protection shield
in front of the pump. When they
figured out what was the matter,
they couldn't even get the weight
out through the inspection "man
hole" and they had to cut out a
section of the pipe to remove it.
Samples of all material dredged
"Are analyzed as to grain size and
weight. This aids in determining
the efficiency of dredging opera
tions. Coarse sand, Captain Mid
gCtte says, can be dredged with
more efficency than fine sand. He
calls the sand in the Morehead
City channel "good dredging ma
teria'" because it's coarse.
At Charleston, for instance, the
material is mostly mud. In cases
like that, channels are scoured out
by agitating the bottom at ebb tide
and letting the tide carry away
the material.
Carries Extra Drag Heads
The Gerig carries extra drag
heads because there's always a pos
sibility that one may be lost.
Cross currents have been known
to rake them off and sometimes
they catch in wrecks. If the drag
heads can be retrieved, divers are
sent down on a salvage mission.
The Gerig is named after Wil
liStn Gerig who died in 1944. Mr.
r<Jerig perved on numVrous govern
ment commissions dealing with wa
terways engineering. His picture
hangs in the officers' recreation
room.
The Gerig has a laundry, sick
bay, private quarters for the of
ficers and a bridge "big enough If
bold a dance u?" as Captain Mid
gette describes it
It's radar-equipped, has ship to
shore radio, an electronic depth
finder which is of tremendous val
ue in dredging operations, and
when underway it can mate 14
to 15 knots. Captain Midgette said
the trip from here to Philadelphia
would only take 24-26 hours, anoth
er indication that the Gerig is not
just an ordinary dredge.
Started as Deckhand
Captain Midgette started his ca
reer on the sea as a deckhand
With the exception of three years
in the Merchant Marine he has
been with the Corps of Army En
gineers. Two times prior to this
he has worked in Morehead City
harbor on the Lyman and the Hyde.
? Duimg the second World War
he was commissioned a first lieu
tenant and served with the 1076th
engineers dredge crew on the
"Hains" in Hawaii, Guam, Leyte
and Manila.
His family lives in Tampa, Fla.
Mrs. Midgette is from New Jersey
and they have three children, Jar
vis, 20, who plays football for the
University of Tampa; Sylvia, 16,
who attends Hillsboro High School
and Allen, 15, who goes to Memor
ial Junior High.
The Gerig's home port is Jack
sonville, Fla. When she is working
waters south of here or in the
Gulf, Captain Midgette says he can
get home about once every two
weeks.
The Gerig started work here at
the outer entrance to the channel
and made its way into the bar. The
project width of the channel is
400 feet and the depth 28 feet in
the center. Captain Midgette said
he was pleased with the amount
of work the Gerig accomplished
in the short time it was able to be
here.
How long will the work last?
That, says Captain Midgette, de
pends on the southwest winds.
Those are the babies that cause
the channel to fill in.
"I'd like to see a jetty built to
protect this channel. It would cost
a lot of money but it would pay
for itself in 10 years," he remarked.
