Anecdotes
This vessel was a spud dredge barge designed to carry a large crawler crane. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada reports that "On 15/01/2000 The boom of a mobile crane transported on the barge T.L. Sharpe, towed by the Sea Cap XII, struck the underside of the Knight Street Bridge at 1345 local time, damaging the bridge and the fixtures secured underneath its deck. The force of the striking caused the boom to bend and the crane to slide off the barge and sink."
