Another successful underwater recovery. 🤿⚓️
American Towing & Underwater Recovery was called out to Lake Harriet in Minneapolis after a swing-keel failure during a storm sent this sailboat to the bottom in approximately 10 feet of water.
Our recovery operation included underwater assessment, rigging the vessel, deploying lift bags, controlling the ascent, stabilizing the boat at the surface, and dewatering it until it was floating under its own buoyancy again.
Underwater recoveries require the right equipment, planning, and—most importantly—the right people.
A big thank you to Scuba Sally, Keith Cormican, and Mike Lindstedt for their help on this recovery. Great crew and another vessel back where it belongs: on top of the water.
