Sunday, Feb 12 I was sailing around
San Francisco Bay and noticed a
commercial vessel that looked unusual.
The vessel was maybe 300-400 ft long, with a low freeboard and had what looked like a conveyor belt running down the centerline of the ship. The conveyor belt was inclined at about 15 degrees with the high point of the conveyor belt near the bow.
Water was regularly splashing over the side of what I presume was a conveyor belt.
Does anyone know what this ship was? I haven't found any pictures of similar ships online.
