DOUBLE DUTY: This view of the big dry dock at Beth-
lehem Steel's Beaumont, Texas, shipyard shows the cut-
ter suction dredge Captain Clark and the SS San Mateo
Victory sharing the recently expanded and modernized
facility. The Captain Clark, 252 feet by 50 feet by 1 1
feet, was in the yard for repairs following collision with
a ship in the Mississippi River outlet to the Gulf of
Mexico. Extensive repairs to the hull, hull internals and
spud keepers were necessary, and the original wood
upper house was replaced by a completely new steel
one. The San Mateo Victory, 436Vz feet by 62 feet by
38 feet, was being prepared for layup in the U.S. Gov-
ernment's Beaumont Reserve Fleet in the Neches River.
The Beaumont yard dry dock has a length of 650 feet,
width of 87 feet, and lifting capacity of 17,500 tons
and handles ships ranging up to the C4 types.
