[cc] Texas Parks and Wildlife sank a 7000-ton ship 17 nautical miles off the coast of South Padre Island to create an artificial reef on the barren sandy bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. It has become a haven for marine life, anglers and divers. For more information on the artificial reef program, visit http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/landwater/water/habitats/artificial_reef/overview...

Don't get too OCD over the wreck being on its side. Hurricanes create immense currents that will pick up wrecks, just like this one, and move them or turn them over. It would hardly be worth the cost to upright it if another good 'cane goes over it - chances are it would end up not being 'perfectly situated' afterward.

Has it been uprighted yet? It's a big income producer?
Want to trust, "yup, we can do it but it'll really cost ya" outfits? You've got way more manpower, spirit, and 'model-testing' time already available. Would divers enjoy a few organized events? Event one: Cable setting. Event two: Trash bag clippers. Three: Air bag fillers (air bottles/hoses) ...
What's the weight underwater? About half of that lift needed on one side? A few more cables to overhead boats for final control?
