Shipwreck project, moving a 200 ft Landing craft off the beach

[CaptEsteban]

I hope the hull is sound & she makes the journey !

 

[Jolly Mon]

Congrats on getting her off. Am I right in guessing that despite the storm's strength, the storm surge was relatively mild?

Storm surge took a vessel the same size a mile inland at Crooked island with the surge over 10 ft.....

I think we have managed to put together a deal to get these commercial fishing boats off the land.

It will be great to get these guys back earning a living while the salvage guys are here.

More photos to follow ( I hope,)

I remember when Hurricane Hugo hit Charleston, S.C. Boats were scattered everywhere for miles !!
