Transcription Notes:
A lighter is a type of flat-bottomed barge used to transfer goods and passengers to and from moored ships. Lighters were traditionally unpowered and were moved and steered using long oars called "sweeps" and the motive power of water currents. Not sure if it is Willet Cuetler or Cuelter. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-01-02 10:19:50
