It was donated to the Valley Camp museum but no one could figure out what to do with it. It and the Favorite were sold and the Favorite was scrapped at DeTour I think

It was a former U.S. Corps of Engineers Quarters Boat. Workers lived/cooked on it while in remote locations. I don't how when or where it went.

Back in the 80s and 90s there used to be a small floating office in USACE colors that was by the Valley Camp museum. It left the museum around the same time as the wrecking tug Favorite did in the 90s. Does anybody know the history of this barge or what happened to it?
