Barges (10/10)
A barge is a vessel that does not have its own means of propulsion ( usually. ) Barges are towed or pushed from place to place by tugboats, or anchored in place to serve as temporary work platforms, floating docks, or storage. Some barges are self-propelled, in a limited way. These are known as scows, and their limited propulsive power restricts them to protected waters without the assistance of a tugboat.

The Diggs was engaged in a salvage operation at the time of her loss and actually settled on top of another shipwreck, of unknown origin. The green blinker buoy for which it is known was removed after the wooden wreck was demolished in the 1970s. Also known as the "Green Blinker Wreck".

Moon Snails are commonly eaten as Scungilli. They are sometimes very common offshore; more than that I can't say.
Large Whelks are sometimes eaten as Conch, but these are most often collected in bay waters.
