Air Lock Diving-Bell Plant. The picture shows a purpose-built barge equipped with an air lock diving bell system. The bell was lowered over the site down through the centre of the barge and was connected to it by a steel shaft down which men entered. The barge was also equipped with rescue equipment including a decompression chamber. The barge would have hove to with six or eight anchors to keep it in place; good weather was obviously required.
