Golden Ray Almost Gone

 


The final section of the ship is almost ready to be loaded onto the barge for transport to a recycling center in Louisiana, just over two years after she ran aground off the port in Georgia.

Because of damage to the bottom of that section, a special sleeve will be constricted to hold it on the barge.

Hundreds of card were removed from the eight sections the ship was cut into. You can see some crushed vehicles at the bottom of the photo above.

Investigators determined improper loading of vehicles led to instability, which caused the ship to turn over as she turned.
