The wooden hull Waoiwrif^hl and her sister ship llilnun/ were 

 buill in 1942 at Benton Harbor, Michigan for the Coast and 

 (.eodelic Survey. Ihey were the first ships to be buill specif- 

 ically for wire dragging operations. By virtue of their mission 

 they were "inseparable" ships, joined together by a quarter-inch 



stainless steel wire that was dragged between them as they 

 moved slowly at distances a half-mile to two miles apart. These 

 ships disposed of in 1966 had the unique distinction of sharing 

 one captain for both .ships.
