Carbonate (Barge), sunk, 11 Jan 1905
- Full Text
The wreck of the barge MASSASOIT has now been practically cleared from the intake pipe, the well of the pumping station are clear of slush ice and the officials of the Bureau of Water say the danger of a water famine is at an end.
The barge CARBONATE, which was used by the wreckers dynamiting the stranded barge MASSASOIT at the intake pier, sank yesterday while moored alongside one of the docks below Ferry Street. It is believed the force of the explosions under the MASSASOIT opened the vessel's seams. ---- p. 4, c. 3
