Ship Salvage Yard

[Captain Canada]

Hi guys. Since we were talking on another thread about tows etc., thought I'd start a new thread regarding the subject, as there are a few things of interest going on around the world.

The USS Guardian

Do like the USCG did with the Japanese derelic fishing boat that was drifting toward the west coast after the tusnami washed out of its port. It was declared a shipping hazard and the coast guard used it for target practice until it sank in deep water.
