Has anyone heard if the attempt to re-float/tow the "Irving Johnson"
have succeeded??
I haven't seen anything in the last 24 hrs on the national news.
The longer she languishes there, the less hope there is for a
successful attempt.
Thanks.

The Irving Johnson has been successfully towed to deeper water and
appears to be
intact.

The people who built those little ships really did an amazing job. Took
quite a pounding. Every morning I expected the worst.
And Jim Gladson deserved a lot of credit for his management style, from
what I saw.
I guess we all can learn from this to have a plan for such an emergency.
No question that Jim Gladson and Charles Heil deserve a ton of credit
for designing the salvage operation. Those two have been instrumental in
designing and building these two rock solid ships and now, also, in
saving the Irving Johnson. Hats off to them! The amount of sleep
they've had since Monday could fill a thimble.
