This photo is of the Brown and Root barge "Bar 297". I was one of the two barge tenders on board Bar 297. That year  I was also the lead tender on board the "Bar 355". Later that year I was sent as a tender to the North Sea to join Santa Fe's barge "Chackta-2". Taylor Diving was contracted for a hyperbaric weld, we damb near sank.
