With divers in the water, the crew had managed to get two sturdy straps underneath 63.5-foot boat\u2019s sunken hull during the morning.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8100\" src=\"https:\/\/cranemarket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-5.jpg\" alt=\"American-7260-crawler-crane-on barge-5\" width=\"1200\" height=\"913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-5.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-5-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-5-768x584.jpg 768w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-5-1024x779.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-5-1080x822.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"subscriber-only\">\n<p>By 11 a.m., cable wires attached to the crane strained and groaned against the effort to raise the 50-ton boat from the bottom of the river.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subscriber-only\">\n<p>\u201cThe goal is to get the Three Girls safely and cleanly away from Mary Ross Park and out of the (East River) harbor,\u201d said Fendig, owner of Sea Tow Brunswick.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8097\" src=\"https:\/\/cranemarket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-2.jpg\" alt=\"American-7260-crawler-crane-on barge-2\" width=\"1200\" height=\"911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-2-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-2-768x583.jpg 768w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-2-1024x777.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-2-1080x820.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subscriber-only\">\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/goldenisles.news\/news\/local_news\/crane-barge-and-divers-work-to-raise-three-girls\/article_05c18c31-bad3-5db0-b974-ca4cfb714594.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Golden Isles<\/a> reports, after sinking during the hurricane on Oct. 7, the Three Girls has since listed to one side. This presented problems for the salvage crew. Ideally, the crew would like to raise the vessel, flush out the water, patch the hull and float it out of the river. The tension of the effort showed early in the day, as the stress of raising the water-logged boat partially above the surface caused the 100-foot barge to lean noticeably in the water. The Jacksonville- based tugboat Little Bully maneuvered the barge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subscriber-only\">\n<p>The 100-ton capacity American crawler crane then eased up on the tension, and let the boat dip back into the water. It was still higher than before, when only the trawler booms and upper rigging stuck above the surface at low tide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subscriber-only\">\n<p>The Three Girls was the only remaining shrimp boat docked at Mary Ross Park, and likely will be the last. The insurance required to dock there is paying for salvage job, Fendig said. The boat is destined for the scrap heap, said Fendig, adding that it would be taken out in pieces if necessary.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8098\" src=\"https:\/\/cranemarket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-3.jpg\" alt=\"American-7260-crawler-crane-on barge-3\" width=\"1200\" height=\"885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-3-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-3-768x566.jpg 768w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-3-1024x755.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/machine.market\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/American-7260-crawler-crane-on-barge-3-1080x797.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"subscriber-only\">\n<p>\u201cThey want to try to float it and tow it out of here,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd if they don\u2019t float it, then she\u2019s going out in pieces.
