In this recently passed "water projects" bill, did they have any money
in it for dredging the waterway?


That would be nice but I haven't heard anything about it. The "thing"
that bit the cruise ship does not appear to have been shoaling
related. My guess is an old wreck that got pushed out of position
somehow, or possibly the cruise ship got wide of the channel in the
dark and moved something around when they hit it.



The initial report that I read indicated that the ship was taking on water
and the captain purposely grounded it so that it did not sink in the middle
of the ICW.
