On the early morning in April TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale Dispatcher, John Lepore received a telephone call from a boater who had communications with a vessel needing assistance in the Bahamas. The vessel was grounded on the reef on the north side of Gun Cay, Bahamas and was taking on water requesting assistance. Salvage Master, Larry Acheson mobilized a salvage team and TowBoatU.S. #8 and the Richard L. Becker were underway within hours of the initial call. The vessel sustained substantial damage to the hull and keel. The salvage divers rigged the casualty with lift bags and patched the hull in numerous places. The vessel was dewatered and towed back to the United States for repair.
I really appreciate the job that your team did for us, it was phenomenal! 3 of the placements were within 3 feet of each other and the other one was about 10 feet away. You couldn't have hit that any better. Again, I really appreciate it! You guys did a great job! I will be giving you a call for our next job in June.
