"Esso Bayonne".
"Esso Bayonne".
The tanker "Esso Bayonne", constructed by the Federal Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company
for the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, is fitted with two Foster Wheeler water tube
boilers, each of which is fired with three Todd "Hex-Press" air registers. Originally these
burners were of the standard mechanical pressure atomizing type, which recently were
changed over to the new Todd variable capacity type.
A reminder of e tragic night was brought into the harbor September 5 when the "Essa Bayonne",
after being anchored for a day outside the reef, pulled up the anchor from the lake tanker
"Oranjestad", one of the Lago ships sunk by a German sub in the night of February 18, 1942.
