SALVAGING BOATS
SUNK IN WAR IS
ADVENTURE
I
LONDONTjune 28— There is a
spice of adventure in the salvaging of
steamers sunk by German raidc-s.
Bound the British Isles, in the Medi
terranean and off the Murman coa t
rare rich fields for the salvage servuv
as well as private enterprise. In the
North Sea the water is to deep *•»
.nuke any considerable success but in
shallow water not only cargoes but
ships are being saved.
Some of the sunken vessels conta:n
huge fortunes in gold or goods. One
is known to have carried $5,000-000 in
gold. The diver sent down to work on
her borrowed the key to the ship’s
strong box but it is not recorded
whether he retrieved the gold.
If the divers after an investigation
decide to attempt to float the ship,
baiges are moored over her at low
‘ tide. Nine inch wire rope4 an* then
passed under it and fastened to th-i
barges above. As the tide rises the
barges rise with it- bringing the ship
along- as it lies in the great wire
cradle. The damaged ship is then tov
ed into shallow water and the neces
sary repairs made.
In case of vessels only partly sub
merged air is sometimes pumped in
to her hold, driving out the water
while the ship slowly floats to the sur.
face. Occasionally it is necessary,
where the hole is not too large- to
make a great patch, float it over th**
hole- and then fasten it sufficiently
tight in position until the ship can be
pumped out and floated.
One vessel was torpedoed in the
Channel* but almost reached the shore
before it went down. When it finaPv
sunk it was exposed at low tide^and
not so very far from a railroad. Heaw
locomotives pulled the vessel into a
perpendicular position and the vess 1
, finally refloated.
While these salvage operations have
been remuneratively successful* lead
ers in the industry declare that it »s
, next to impossible to save a ship ly
• ing in water deeper than her masts,
; and that very manytships will never
• be brought up. But they do not despair
I as to the cargo if the ship lies in les^
. lhan 200 feet of water. Divers can op
orate with comparative ease at that
depth.
Many sailors recently demobilized
have cast their lot with the govern
ment salvag^ corps or with some ont
. of the pr ivate corporations which hav?
. taken up the work. The pay is goo»
1 while there is always an element ol
danger.
