What Happened? During the timeframe between

December 2010 and January 2011 illegal scrapping operations caused the number 3 hold on the Davy Crocket to buckle resulting in a sheen

Additional king tides further degraded the structural integrity of the barge and weakened the keel resulting in further oil discharges

SS TWIN HARBORSWWII Liberty Ship

TWIN HARBORS was an identical vessel to DAVY CROCKETT before CROCKETT was converted to a barge

These photos show the vessel being dismantled in Tacoma, WA last year

The photo above shows the hull configuration and double-bottom

The photo to the right show how liberty ships used various materials for ballast in their holds – DAVY CROCKETT uses bricks instead of the gravel that was used aboard TWIN HARBORS
