I recall the large Crane shown as a tow, it was a missile retriever used at Wilson Cove San Clemente Island during the Polaris Missile experiment days (circa) 1959 1961 it broke loose from it mooring during a storm and we went to retrieve it it crashed against the starboard side and crushed the gunnel tearing a piece of it out pictured in another photo I believe, CO was Lt Murrell oil was pumped overboard to calm the water so we could tie up to the crane and take it to San Diego.
