Demobilizing SHIPS Equipment

March 24, 1998.

In preparation for removal of the equipment and shipment back to Redwood City, CA we rotate a truck trailor on the dock so that it is facing home.

Rotating the Trailor

On the ship at the end of seismic operations it is time to winch in the streamer. Kevin O'Toole (Supervisor of Marine Technicians at the USGS Marine Facility) operates the winch.
