Barge # 76 (American Barge, 1918).
Served in the U.S. Navy as Barge # 76 (ID # 3030), Freight Lighter # 95 and YF-95 in 1918-1947

Barge # 76, a 675 ton (estimated displacement) wooden barge, was built at Tottenville, New York, in 1918 for the Moran Towing & Transportation Company of New York City. Taken over by the Navy at about the time of her completion and assigned registry ID # 3030, she was renamed Freight Lighter # 95. The barge spent her entire Navy career in the New York area, becoming YF-95 in 1920, and was not disposed of until 1947.

This page features the only views we have concerning Moran Company Barge # 76, which was the U.S. Navy's Freight Lighter # 95 and YF-95 in 1918-1947.
