M/V Benyuard

The M/V (Motor Vessel) Benyuard docked at the Port of Vicksburg waiting to depart on April 11,2007 for our boat trip. Col. Vesay stated that the U.S. Army has more boats than the Navy!

This is the M/V Benyaurd pushing us downstream towards and under the MS River Bridges.

This boat will be decommissioned next month and be renamed M/V William James after a wage grade employee who was a cook on the Benyaurd for 20 years. He had a tragic accident where he fell overboard and his body was found two days later.
