Scanned from a slide taken while she was at Mobil's refinery in Paulsboro NJ, Sept. 1974. Note her bulbous bow, which was added to her and her two sisters the "Mobil Power" and "Mobil Lube" sometime after they were built.
The anchor could not be dropped from the hawse (unless it was a dire emergency!) because it would hit the bulb. Instead it had to be walked out on the windlass until it slid over the bulb, then braked up to let go.
