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.
