Lift boat?
Is that like a spuding barge?
From what is shown in the photo it looks like a spud and a foot below the hull.
Thank God for the coasties!
Hope they find the other ten.
Lift Boat sometimes called a spud barge typically with 3 spuds, shallow water type vessel, self motorized
Thx
Can't imagine taking one of those out of near-shore coastal waters..
Unstable is right.
Is that the storm system crossing Mississippi/Alabama now?
Same storm system.
The Captains/Barge Masters are very skillful at what they do. Some things happen way beyond their control like this micro-blast that caught them before he could drop his legs down enough to lower the center of gravity.
This blast caught the Coast Guard off their watch also as it happened too fast to get the warnings out on channel 16 in time for responses.
Very sad for the lost and their families.
