[TheForge] marine salvage engineering

[terry l. ridder]

hello;

this is impressive. i have been watching the live video feed off and on
throughout the day. it is taking longer than their original guess but it
is working. the ship is approaching vertical. soon the portside external
ballast tanks should begin to take on water and let gravity help in
turning the ship back to vertical.

very impressive indeed.
