Oil skimming vessels, directed by the Mississippi River oil spill Unified Command, work to contain and clean up an oil discharge that occurred during the raising of the bow section of the barge DM 932 under the Crescent City Connection Bridge, Saturday, Aug. 9, 2008. The skimming vessels, and other work boats, were pre-positioned along the New Orleans waterfront so cleanup workers could respond to the anticipated release of oil during salvage operations.
