A Barge Called Marilyn in Puerto Rico

Following the recent devastation of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, a barge named ‘Marilyn Monroe’ has been transporting vital equipment – including vehicles, housing, bulk fuel, food, and self-powered cellular communication towers to the island, Smith Maritime reports. The barge has no direct connection to Marilyn, of course – but given her charitable nature, it’s pleasing to find her name being used to help those in need.
