Description
A Mooring refers to any permanent structure to which a vessel may be secured. A ship is secured to a mooring to forestall free movement of the ship on the water.
The mooring bitt is a fitting often-used in mooring. The rope is hauled over the bitt, pulling the vessel toward the bitt. In the second step, the rope is tied to the bitt. This tie can be put and released very quickly.
The remains of a 5-inch gun mount can also be seen below the oily water. Live ordinance for the guns lie only a few feet below where thousands of visitors walk each year.
