A Wooden Layer Working



Figure 33

The Net Tender is loaded and ready to lay moorings for net installation. Evidently no steel anchors are used, one complete line of moorings shown on the ships horns consists of; two 14-ton concrete anchors, back up chain, two 6-ton concrete anchors, riser chain and watch buoy. The load is approximately 22 tons per horn. A Mark II buoy alongside the ship is not visible in this photos.
