I am in Ga. about 100 miles from the coast. I watched as they cut up and hauled out the car carrier ship that grounded a couple years ago at Saint Simmons sound. That big gantry crane that was used I understand was I think in a bad storm and grounded somewhere on the other side of the world. I wonder if they were able to save it and where it is now... That crane cable should have been attached to the ends of the spreader bar. Lot of bend in it the way it was. Never understood how two boats can collide in an ocean of water.
Wow! They had a man in the water, with the wreck hanging from misbalanced slings, almost overhead! Health and safety would have closed that down, here.
Good work getting her up, that shouldn’t be left on the bottom in a harbor area. Now you can get a item or two to remember her by. The prop and wheel would be great to have.
At least they got the hazard out of the navigation and prevented an environmental problem, down the line, but that was very sketchy. Simply wouldn’t be allowed over here.
Possablity of a fuel leak reason she was raised, spill liability very large. . Doubt if insurance was involved. Unlikely the boat was insured and other vessel probably payed for salvage. All sorts of ways to raise a wreck, Crofton are experts, job done quickly with no surprises. No word on who was at fault. Likely some shared responsibility. All this speculation with no direct knowledge.
So sorry that boat is scrap That was an amazing lift to clean the harbor.
Great video, man! Thanks!
Great Video
new subscriber, wonderful stuff....cheers from Orlando, Florida
Finally figured out what a “booee” is. These guys pronounce buoy that way. Now a lot of the dialogue makes sense.
Did ya'll ever make a video of a close up of what was left after it was turned back over on the dock?

This was a sad ending to an iconic Edward Diggs build Chesapeake dead rise work boat,that round stern design is becoming rarer to find these days.
It seems a lot of effort to retrieve what looks like a piece of scrap.
Are there any pictures of her before

So thats it ? I presumed it was something classic 🥴
That rigging was seriously dangerous. Way off center, could have easily slid out of those slings.
Must have been needing to investigate it so it was brought up and plus one less on the bottom
That’s a bad wreck. Did the crew make it out all right? Take care.
They went through a lot, but no major injuries.
Yes
That was a waste of money 💰, would have left that scrap at the bottom.
Wow, a lot of work & cost for a small vessel.. I assume it was necessary because ???????
That was a huge waste of someone's money! Unless it was in very shallow water at an inlet possibly causing problems
Watch out for that propane tank
When is the Admiralty hearing?
Where was this?
The wheel house didn't come up with her. Are they going to leave it?
Nothing left on bottom, large pieces have been recovered floating on the surface.
Where did this happen and what did they hit or what hit them if I may ask?

It's all about environmental issues today . Keep our waterways safe and clean
Must of run a stop sign.
Cost of raising the boat, draining it, refurbishing and repairs.......might as well buy another boat with the insurance.
Will not be restored.
i'm a new sub. you think any of the wood can be repurposed?
I hope the Captain and crew are all safe.
They went through a lot, but no major injuries.
Thank the Lord there all safe.
was she a fishing boat?
Commercial Seafood catching crabs.
It'll buff out

Not much left
have to collect insurance money...
Boat: break out another thousand.
What hit her?
Dual hull fiberglass Pilot Boat
They just lost a tourist dive location.
Damn they left more on the bottom than they got up
Nothing left on bottom, large pieces have been recovered floating on the surface.
@@workboatlife1833 😬
she was done. why raise her? there's no cost benefit to pay big $$$ to raise what is essentially a ground up build?? makes no sense....
Large pieces continue to become unattached and float to the surface endangering other vessels plus large boat barge traffic in the area.
@@workboatlife1833 yea, that makes sense if its a danger.
navigation hazard to other shipping, can't just leave it if it is in navigation channel or harbour area
Well that was fairly boring
Not as boring as your channel. This one video did 100% more than your channel. 🤪
You got to be kidding...All the work and expense for a little pile of junk.
What a waste of money and resources. Should’ve just been floated with bags and hauled out to deeper waters and cut loose.
Total waste of Money to bring her up.
that will rub out easy fix
