Silver Ships Delivers Workboat To USACE Mobile District

Silver Ships, Inc. of Theodore recently delivered a custom-built Explorer 26 workboat to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Mobile District. The 26-ft marine surveying vessel, Miss Agnes, will conduct hydrographic survey analyses along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The Explorer 26 is powered by twin 200-HP Mercury SeaPro Outboards and includes a double jack plate, which simultaneously controls both engines when lifting or lowering them. The vessel is a multi- and single-beam-capable vessel that features an enclosed center console, a three-monitor survey station and an air conditioner paired with a generator. Miss Agnes will be used to survey inland waterways and shallow-draft operations so USACE Mobile District may efficiently collect and document accurate data.
