from the tanker to a barge. The
tanker went aground Thursday
morning as it was being maneu
vered to the state dock at More

urday morning for Baytown, Tex.
Investigation Made
When notified of the incident,
Col. R. L. Hill, district engineer,
Wilmington, ordered an examina
tion of the area where the Wor
cester went aground.
The engineers1 report follows:
"The bow was resting in water
28.9 feet deep, stern 32.5 feet,
portside side midship 22.3 feet and
starboard side midship in 26.0
feet of water.
"The bow was pointed almost
directly toward the Aviation Fuel
Company's pier about 650 feet
away. Further, the bow was 80
feet outside the channci limit and
the *orn was on the channel limit.
"The sea was relatively calm
with moderate to light winds.
Soundings of recent date show
water in the harbor aad channel
to be 30 feet deep or better in all
areas."
M Feet Authorized
Authorized depth of the More
head City harbor is 30 feet. Army
engineers have approved a 35-foot
4*pth at the bar and an enlarged
tetsin dredged to a depth of 34
feet, but money for the project
has not been appropriated.
No reason could be given -for
the Worcester's going agrttind
other than there not being as much
water under her as thought.
