December 10, 2009 Margie’s Birthday!
The old boat MARION sadly went to the bottom. The owner came to us about raising her. Global Diving did the diving on her and we recommended that the owner hire the Steam Crane Foss 300 to make the pick. We towed the Foss 300 to the site and back to their terminal with the wreck in the slings. We held the Foss 300 out in the stream on soft lines with the STINGER pushing in the middle of her. We took a lot of pictures which I now share with you.
