Excavator works to free Ever Given ship stuck in Suez Canal - photo

[Hoosiersmoker]

In breaking new: In addition to excavation efforts, the "Worm" moon last night caused a higher than usual high tide and the stern broke free. They're keeping it from drifting hoping they can free the bow soon. Once removed there will be several (?) days of dredging to repair the damage done and prevent other ships from bottoming out. Over 250 ships are waiting and many others decided to go the old route around the "Cape of Good Hope" around the southern tip of Africa, over twice the travel time (depending on destination). The biggest heartbreak of all is the dozen or so containers one one barge containing thousands of cutting edge sexual aids! MORE TO COME!
