Deep Sea lift update #4: Deep Sea has surfaced

by Larry Altose, Ecology public information

 The Deep Sea reached the surface of Penn Cove at about 1:30 p.m. The vessel remains supported by two floating cranes.

Crews will pump water out of the hull. Next: inspections to determine whether the vessel can safely float for a tow to a shipyard for dismantling.
