CROWLEY needed 12 ocean deck barges for arctic service .. .they selected America's largest inland shipbuilder Crowley Launch and Tugboat Co. of San Francisco selected Jeffboat to build twelve 200' by 60' deck barges for an im- portant role in arctic oil activity. The barges were towed via the Panama Canal to the North Slope of Alaska where they joined a large fleet of service vessels. These shallow draft deck barges lightered cargo to shore from deeper draft ships forced by shallow water to anchor 17 miles offshore. A third of the barges served as sunken dock barges in the supply project. Rugged Jeffboat construction assures years of serv- ice and dependable performance.
