Two more barges brought in to the jetty

The stone scowls which had been used to bring out the large multi-ton stone blocks to the Salisbury jetty have largely been commandeered for moving the small and medium stone. Two empty flat topped barges were brought in to haul the large stones out. The top of the barges were covered with heavy wood planks.

 

This barge originates from Boston
