JW
writes about numerous barges being at the Elizabeth Marine Ways,
by their
designated numbers. On most photos which show barges the numbers are
not visible or extremely difficult to read. JW mentions that Barge
92 docks at EMW during
November 1921 and
January
1923.
The
photo above from the collection of the Elizabeth Marine Ways is part of
several that were taken to show a fleet of barges docked at West
Elizabeth, across the river from Elizabeth. The other photos are on
Elizabeth
Town Scapes.
The photo below showing
Barges 92 and 87 is dated 1912 and thus questionable if these are the
same barges as mentioned by JW during
November 1921,
January
1923
and November 1922.
These might not even be owned by the same company, as JW would of been
working primarily on barges owned by River Coal , with an RC painted on
them. Barges in this photo could of been owned by J K Davidson
Sand Company as noted by name on Dredge in photo. Regardless it is
a good photo showing barges numbered 87 and 92. Exact location of
photo is unknown.
