The Main Pass Double Nut Gang

The Gang:  P Hume, S McBean, and C Peterson
Photo/Text/Prayer  by J. Buckley

“This is my double nut; there are many like it but this one is mine.
Without me, my double nut is useless; without my double nut, I am useless!”

What do you do when your tenders can’t hold onto the double nuts they are sent down to install?  And of course you only had just enough to finish the job…Some punishment is required, and so I make my tenders carry a nut with them, to be produced upon request by a diver, and for them to recite the “Double Nut Prayer” (an homage to the USMC “Rifleman’s Prayer”) until they can prove to me that they no longer need to carry their double nuts.  
 


 


Back on the Dixie Patriot

If you've never been on it or any of the other new & really big lift boats, but you heard about the leg mounted cranes, well, this is what they look like. The Patriot has two and they're good for about 55 tons each. Great crew on board too.
