COMMENTS: - - Welcome back to the Fluctus Channel for a feature that explains the challenging and time-sensitive operation of salvaging damaged and distressed ships and why only a few companies in the world can do it.
I fish a lot near St Simons and you can go to the wreck and take all kinds of pictures. It was a huge operation, they still don't know how much damage was done to the environment because there were gas and oil puddles everywhere, you could see it from helicopters.
We need heavy rescue assistance in Vancouver, Canada. More than three weeks ago, an empty barge went free and ended up on a city beach and its owner is unable to land it. It is said that the natives got on the ship and decorated it for Christmas.
I remember the wooden barge that turned upside down in the Northumberland Strait, bound for Saint John, NB. They no longer cut logs by barge on the East Coast, now the logs are routed to pulp and paper mills and brought in by trucks and wagons.
I'm not quite sure who did your research there, but every single one of the ships you have shown that was deliberately grounded were not for storage, etc., these ships were unnecessary and would break apart.
Enjoy your videos. Thanks. Please note that a “boat” is very different from a Ship. You continue to use these terms interchangeably. And they are not. The rough definition of a boat is a boat that can be placed on the deck of a ship! Boats are much smaller.
