the Revolution was over the number
of ships using this port was over 200.
Many of these vessels had at least a
14-foot draft, and, as they were sail
ing vessels, they were accustomed to
tack back and forth over the entire
harbor. Yet it was left for the wire
drag to discover 125 years later a
13-foot rock in the center of the bay,
where depth was supposed to be suffi-
cient for large ships.
In connection with Salem I am
reminded of another case where a
battleship was possibly saved from
injury. A short time before the
U. S. S. Vermont was due at Salem
two rocks were found on the edge of
the deep channel leading into the
harbor. Both were situated so close
to the supposedly clear water that a
vessel navigating with respect to the
buoys might strike full on. There
was no time to be lost, so a message
was hurriedly dispatched to the COM
manding officer with a warning of
the new dangers in entering.
1T is impossible to state how i'm
portant a rock may be- In 1S43 a
survey was made in the vicinity of
Point Judith, during which a large
rock was found. 1t was charted. but
was later removed from the chart
when another ship failed to find any
trace of it. Then, in 1915, before wire
drag work had been done in that
region, the Nebraska struck patch
of boulders and had large dent put
in her side, ample proof of the need
for dragging at that point.
Sometimes we are asked for the
explanation of solitary boulders in
areas otherwise perfectly clear. An
instance of this is the bottom of BuZ-
yards Bay. 1t is extremely probable
that these boulders became imbedded
in the icebergs which lay at the edge
of the great glacier of New England,
and that as these icebergs drifted
away from the main mass the boul-
ders were carried along. When the
bergs melted or turned over the
boulders were loosened and were

Nothing but the wire drag could 10.
cate such isolated obstacles, and even
that Sometimes fails where the rock
is roun>i and smooth. Extra precau-
tions ane naturally taken in such
cases.
Dragging the waters about Key
West gave us our greatest surprise.
Hundreds Oh coral heads were found,
so many that it is difficult to under
stand why there was not a large
number of wr,Ncks during the Span
ish-American q ar, when Key West
was the headq1' 'arters for the fleet.
One rock with a depth Of IT feet was
found directly in the channel. II IS
an interesting speculation as to
whether history might have been
changed if the Maine had struck this
rock as she was laaying Key West
on what proved to be her last voyage.

"In the earlier days of dragging"
Comdr. Heck stated, many unusual
incidents occurred, for even in the
most used harbors where the bottom
was supposed to be known we found
rocks which had never been thought
to exist. Perhaps one of the closest
escapes from collision with an un-
charted rock happened one Summer
when we were working along the
coast of Maine. The u. S. S. Della
ware, drawing % feet, was passing
within a quarter of mile Of our
launches when the drag turned up
pinnacle rock just % feet below the
| surface. Had the ships course not
been slightly altered because of the
presence of the launches is is quite
likely that the vessel would have
crashed squarely into it, Had this
happened the navigator could not
have been blamed, for the chart
showed a depth of 120 feet at that
point. An uncharted rock is war
rant for escape from responsibility
and that is why there must be no
such rocks to menace our commerce
and threaten the lives of passengers
Some time later there was a sim
liar occurrence, but the ship con-

drag party had found a..21-foot rock
in the middle of Two,Bush Channel
at the entrance to Penobscot Bay, but
| owing to lack of funds the Bureau of
Lighthouses was unable to mark it

rock. and in laying his course he hap
pened to cut straight through the
point which was marked on the new
chart. His aim was SO good that he
actually hit tho rock, driving a hole
in the ships aide and causing other
damage which necessitated $50 900 to
be spent for repairs. Had the blow
