What do the MQ, Elissa, and a crane barge have in common?

They all ended up in the same picture. I was going through stuff and found articles and pictures from the Elissa's trip to Baton Rouge, which, by the way, was in 1989. Apparently, I saw the MQ rolling down the river and wanted to get the Elissa and MQ in one picture. Obviously there was no really good location for a clear shot, hence the crane barge, which was not in any way involved with the Elissa. Well, it's a working river, warts and all.2855.jpg

Hey Lex, Whats the name on that crane barge? Looks as if it might have been a towboat at one time as it has tow knees on the bow.

It looks like M YANCY or NANCY NO 1. This is a scanned photo that was probably taken with a disposable camera, so blowing it up 800% and trying a sharpening feature still didn't help. Well, so maybe they name crane barges? There is some kind of structure on the barge, hull, or whatever it is.
