Raising and refloating a 850 ton stern trawler after 10 years underwater. Wrecked alongside the Quay in Cape Town Docks, she was top heavy and needed alot of cohersion in order to stay upright. This included cutting off her stern A-frame, dredging her free and extensive dive exploration, research and sealing. This one diidn't want to come, but they all do! Eventually!

  • How do you go from where the movie ended to scrap. what is that process like? It sure did not look ready to tow any where.

  • @c9ari . The ship was floating well by the end of the day, but the movie crew got bored and left. We continued to cut from the top until there was not much left and she floated higher and higher. Finally the last piece we pulled into thew dry dock and cut it up there. 

  • why did they raise it? sell as scrap?

  • It was done to free up dock space. Sale of scrap did aid the cost of salvave, yes.

  • @weskus01 wonder how much would the Titanic sell for as scrap

  • @jradetzky - about 20M USD

  • @jradetzky - about 20M USD - ST Enogat sold for 360K
