Built in 1949, by Levingston Shipbuilding of Orange, Texas ( hull #443 ) as the Barbara Moran for the Moran Towing Company of New York, New York. The tug was the third of series of five Grace Moran class tugs designed by Naval Architect Joe Hack and built by the Levingston. The series of tugs were often referred to as "Moran's Cadillacs."

In 1971 the tug was transferred to the Curtis Bay Towing Company of Baltimore, Maryland, an affiliate of the Moran Towing Corporation of New York, where she was renamed Lambert Point. In 1988, the Curtis Bay Towing Company was absorbed into the Moran Towing Corporation, and she was renamed Georgia Moran. Powered by a single, Cleveland 16-278A diesel-electric engine. She was a single screw tug, rated at 1,750 horsepower.

One of the great advantages of digital photography is the ease with which the resulting photos can be manipulated and improved later using your computer and an image editing program. Of course, you can also do this by scanning film prints or slides, but dealing directly with digital images is faster, easier, and virtually free.

Underwater photos ( film or digital ) may suffer from the following problems:

  • lack of contrast
  • lack of sharpness
  • excessive darkness or light
  • loss of red tones / poor color balance
  • poor framing and composition
