Main
source of this data is a clerk's file box "MCL Card File" (Marine
Craft Listing), now in the collection of the South Street Seaport Archives,
which contains a single 4x6 card for each named craft. These cards gave the basic data for
each barge, and on them a clerk would recorded relevant data during their
lifetime, such as major maintenance events. Most of the cards are for unpowered
barges, but a few ferries and other craft were also given a card. The numbered
craft were apparently given a different file; that file did not end up in the
Archives. Some of the written notes on these cards were in handwriting that is
hard to decipher; where there is doubt about the exact spelling, the word is
followed by "?" here.
The
material of construction was wood unless “steel” appears in this line; fwooden
construction was the default method until very late in the department's
history, except for a few craft that needed additional strength. The railroad
did switch to steel construction as a standard in the 1950s, and then numbered
its craft instead of naming them, and these craft apparently were given a
different set of file cards that did not end up in the file that ended up in
the Seaport archives. Thus information about numbered vessels in this roster
comes from a variety of other sources.
OVERVIEW
OF THIS ROSTER
Each entry in the roster
contains the following: The first line contains the name of the
craft, then its basic characteristics: type of craft; hull no., date built and
builder; dimensions and capacity. The
builder name is shortened to save space; the full name, plus the location of
builder (where known) is given in a list at the end. Hull
number: this is a number issued by the government for each hull constructed,
inscribed somewhere in its bowels, that remained the same even if the craft was
rebuilt and renamed by a new owner. This allowed data to be kept coherent,
especially for the purpose of listing in the Merchants Vessels of the U.S. (MVUS) directory, formerly issued
annually (past issues are available for reference in various marine archives).
In some cases, instead of a hull number, the MCL provides a “Custom House
Number”, starting with “CH”; this was another official number provided to some
craft, to make sure that import or export freight passing through did not
bypass customs payments.
Lines below the first one are for
additional information. Most of
these craft were acquired new, but if it was acquired secondhand (later than
its build date), the acquisition date and source are given on the next line.
Further lines give major changes to craft over time (e.g. conversion to other
type). The last line tells how
craft was de-accessioned: some were sunken or destroyed in accident; most were
sold at the end of their useful life. The price sold for is given here, as it
gives some indication of condition at time of sale. The initial cost of most of
these bargse was in the tens of thousands of dollars, depending on complexity
of the craft, year built, and other factors.
ABBREV's for type:
CB = covered barge
CSB = covered steam hoisting barge
GHB = Gasoline Hoisting Barge
GrBt (or GB) = grain boat
HHB = Hand Hoisting Barge
Refr = Refrigerated covered barge
Scow =
open flat scow,
cargo placed on deck (no protective shed)
SHB = Steam Hoisting Barge (these may
include derrick lighters also)
PB = Police Boat
Ferry
- This file includes some ferryboats
BUILDERS: See list at end (“ by ?” means no builder is listed on
the card)
CONSTRUCTION
MATERIAL is wood,
unless otherwise noted after builder name
DIMENSIONS: Given as length x width (beam); D
