Abstract
A structure for mooring a vessel floating on the surface of a body of water is disclosed including a tower structure and an improved structure for pivotably connecting the vessel to the tower structure while providing a restoring force to the vessel. The tower has a slewing boom rotatably mounted about its vertical axis. The longitudinal axis of the slewing boom is substantially aligned with that of the vessel. Pendant members are connected along the longitudinal axis of the slewing boom and support lateral members of a counterweight frame. Longitudinal members of the frame hold counterweight blocks. A unitary yoke is pivotably removably hinged at its tower end to one of the lateral members of the frame and is hinged at its vessel end to bow hinge brackets fixed to the vessel.
