Moosic Mtn. Wild Presents

 The Ore Dock is still under construction - I will be working on this for the next couple of weeks, but wanted to try it out. Links will be worked on, more photos added and text. Thank you for your interest in this portion of the site.

It was a hot summer's day when the Elena approached the Ore Dock in Port Covington. These pictures tell the story of  the ship, the machinery and the men on that day in 1972. 

         
 
   
 
 
This first series of pictures shows the ship being guided by a tugboat to the Ore Dock, the lines being passed and secured.
 
         
         

 

         
 
   
 
 
 
 
         
         
 
   
 
 
 
 
         
         

 

         
 
   
 
 
 
 
         
         

 

         
 
   

Crew members prepare to swing out the gangplank or ship's ladder. I am not sure what the proper term would be.

    
 
 
It was not long after the ship docked that fresh supplies were brought aboard.
