The boat may be compartmentalized but if the bulkhead doors or hatches are open it will do no good. Some one had deep pockets, many hands, two cranes, barges, pumps,

Even a sidewalk expert can see that lift bags should have been used and that there's a lot of time and money being wasted here.

I can raise that boat up with just a series of balloon jacks attached on the sides near the center of the boat so that the rails can be above the waterline and speed up the pumping out of water

Not much pride in his boat, looks a wreck. Yes the air bags seems best., and faster.

How many engineers would it take to figure out how the water got into the boat so it could be patched and lessen the time and fuel required to pump the water out?

Hey look I'm no Marine Salvage professional but but with small trash pumps running 24 /7 it wouldn't be enough they actually need Commercial monster pumps designed to pump massive amounts of water so they can first get it empty then find out why it sunk at the dock in the first place barring some catastrophic impact or huge hull breach ? after all the boat has a Prop shaft seal and a rudder shaft seal right ? whatelse does this ship have that could allow enough water to enter that the pumps couldn't handle ?

@JohnScott-hs3rf 5 жыл бұрын

There will be lots of sea suction valves in the hull. Underwater valves for wash-down pumps, engine cooling pumps etc. I'd guess by the condition of the boat that a pipe has rusted through and is leaking water into the boat.

@tiredoldmechanic1791 5 жыл бұрын

That was my first thought too. The barges that haul the cranes should have some 10 inch or larger pumps so they put suction hoses on the sunken boat.

@scottfirman 5 жыл бұрын

Looks like a pile of scrap boat anyways. Needs a dry dock after that. My guess is its seen its better days. The owner is probably spending the price of a replacement boat just to refloat that wreck. They could have taken it out to sea and sank it afterwards as a fish habitat after draining out the oil and fuel. Not much left to save considering all the electronics are wasted.

Ok so here's my foolish thought, I've watched so many sinking video where everyone just stands there and watch helplessly while they sink. So here's my thought, They have Tugboat with huge engines dedicated just for pushing so why not have a boat with a huge pumping engine just for pumping out water from a sinking boat but it would alse includes some kinda Foam sealant that works under water pumping in to seal a hole.

@Cthippo1 4 жыл бұрын

It doesn't take a huge pump to keep it afloat before it sinks, it just takes a small one that runs ALL the time, or at least always works when needed. This boat didn't sink because a new hole suddenly opened up in her hull somewhere, she sank because she has some number of small holes and the pump on board quit working for some reason. That reason can be as simple as a pump breaking, the switch that turns it on not working, a power outage or something (commonly a plastic bag) getting stuck in the suction.

@thekingsilverado9004 6 жыл бұрын

What you see is what you don't understand from your bar stool. The guy in the blue shirt is the owner and he's callin the shots for one number two pumps can only pump so fast and as they are pumping they are realizing there is still some leak taking on water the pumps don't seem to emptying the boat. So they are letting the experts look for the problem and taking a break not slacking. This shit is hard work mentally an physically. I worked for 3 salvage companies and it is hard work the reason I now restore old trucks for a living.

In order for pumps to work you need to at least cover the holes, plastic works fine. These guys are charging by the hour cause they keep trying to out pump Mother Nature. Pure amateur hour. Drag it into the shallows at high tide and when the tide goes down it will drain. Once it’s exposed light the wood on fire. It’s not worth the time they put in raising it.

If you could raise boats with shouting, machismo and testosterone it would have come up like a cork! With the hourly rate of the crane barges mounting, the sense of desperation and the pump count rose such that it was difficult to tell latterly if they were intending to pump the boat or the river dry! I'm left with a definite sense of the salvaging being insurance funded and driven by EPA reasons and not the salvage value!
