The self-propelled barge T-36 was a Soviet barge of the Project 306 type. Its waterline length was 17.3 m, width 3.6 m, depth 2 m, draft 1.2 m. It had two engines, speed of 9 knots, and tonnage of 100 tons.[1] The barge is known for drifting 49 days across the North Pacific Ocean in 1960 after being disabled, with all sailors on board surviving the journey by rationing three days' supply of food.
