Barge Raised After Sinking. Central Barge Co Vessel Back in Service
The barge sunk weeks ago under Capt. A. C. Ingersoll Jr. of Central Barge Co. was raised last week and is again carrying coal. Raising a sunken floater depends on vessel type and extent of sinking, with partial, full, or air‑sealed cases. The Lock Tarleton, a 1000 horsepower boat, remains buried for months at Alton due to thick ice, while traffic resumes as ice clears and a Peru bridge undergoes repairs.

It describes how barges are loaded by trucks or a hopper and conveyor, with Lincoln Stone and National Stone companies using hinged gangplanks and conveyors.
