CC-Salvage Update

Screenshot from the live feed a few minutes before 7PM EDT:


2-1/2 hours later:


Remember, the ship is still sunk. They've gotten her off the rocks she was on (you can see the damage to her starboard side), but she's still a sunken wreck. Only now, her hull is resting on a very large platform to keep her from sliding down the slope of the sea bottom into deep water. They'll attach sponsons to her starboard side, then they'll pump out the sponsons on both sides to float her.

Once they do that, the ship will be off to be broken up for scrap. The salvage divers will then remove the platform and everything else.
