All of the electrical driven auxiliaries including cargo oil, sanitary, bilge, fuel oil trans- fer, circulating water, fire and_ bilge and general service pumps, stood satis- factory tests. The pilot house control was used for docking and Captain Sacks tied up to the dock and stopped. with machinery without signaling the engine room crew. The J,.H. Senior is 210 feet long, 38 feet wide and has a capacity of 11,000 barrels of oil at a 13-foot draft. She will operate in Chesapeake bay service.
