Recently there was rather big towage:
two dry docks and twelve river barges were put on a bigger barge Margaret.

The towage was very complicated with many hidden factors and one of them leaded to a total loss.


That's how it looks like

Salvage companies failed to pull it off, so they decided to blow Margaret to release at least part of it's cargo

Six river barges were saved, however everything other is Total Loss

Yo dawg, I heard you like boats.

Shipception

And why did they have to stack them like that, couldn't they just tow all of them in a long congo line?

you can't tow boats in a row oO they ground up on the inside of turns. rivers are not rails, they don't hold you in position like rails do for trains.

not in a row like a train, but one by one, or using 14 tugs

Yeah, searching 'barge Margaret' yielded the year 2009 so I got momentarily confused about the timeline. I would have expected the company to try to have resolved the thing immediately (or at least within few months) instead of letting it seat for two years or something :p
