The sunken ‘Cheng Ho’ off Clifford Pier – Update

Apparently 2 salvage platforms with heavy lifting cranes have been moved near the derelict over the weekend. There’s finally something going at the site of the ‘Cheng Ho’.

By the afternoon, there was already some progress made. The derelict has been righted and it appears that they are now concentrating in pumping out the water from of the ship. I wonder how long it would take before they raise the hull out of the water and there’s apparently some jokes going around in the office concerning whether the ‘Cheng Ho’ will break into two.

Stay tuned to this channel. I will update once there’s more progress than this.

And no, there won’t be hourly updates of the pictures.
