Tug Ann-Marie Update

With an earlier than expected approval of the salvage plan to raise the tug Ann-Marie, crews from Luedtke Engineering and Erickson's Crane and Rigging, began the process of bringing her to the surface, on Friday. After being stabilized and raised above the surface, crews used pumps to remove water from the Ann-Marie. She will remain at the Bay Aggregates slip while the US Coast Guard conducts thier investigation into why the tug sank.
