    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.

    Finally figured out what a “booee” is. These guys pronounce buoy that way. Now a lot of the dialogue makes sense.

    It seems a lot of effort to retrieve what looks like a piece of scrap.

    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.

    That rigging was seriously dangerous. Way off center, could have easily slid out of those slings.

    Did ya'll ever make a video of a close up of what was left after it was turned back over on the dock?

    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.

    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.
