Mobil Mount Vernon - (1978- ?? )
The motor barge "Mobil Mount Vernon", was powered by a M&T Harbor Master outdrive units.
In 1978 Mobil took the barge of the "Mobil 33", also a manned barge and converted her into the "Mobil Mount Vernon".
The "Mobil Mount Vernon" was used for Mobils Mount Vernon terminal in Mount Vernon, New York.
It was a real tight dock and she would actually back all the way in, hence her house being built in reverse.
