Yes, and there were other poles along the side of the ship for keeping the hull at least 12 feet away from the dock for coaling. These are what those cleats are for alomg the side of thee hull. They can be seen, though barley, in the one postcard picture taken of T's bow during Good Friday when she was dressed out in flags. Maybe other Courtney shots also, I don't know.
