I take it the beach is sand.

I wonder if it is possible to dredge around it, and then water jet the
sand out from under neath it? I've heard of this being done using fire
engine boats before....



Yeah, it's all sand and sand/shell around there. I don't believe any
fireboats in the area could get close enough. It shallows up there
pretty far from shore.



This could be a long drawn-out process. I imagine some heads are
already in the process of rolling....

Harry, wasn't there a deal a few years back (5?) where some portugese
small freighter which was a POS ran aground in a rather ritzy beach,
and the capt. and crew abandoned it. the freight company didn't want
to pay the expense of retrieving it, and Fla had it littering the beach
for a couple years before giving it over to the salvagers???

Until then it was nothing but a mega-rusty eyesore?

i thought I rememeber seeing that briefly on the news
