JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Coast Guard officials say work to remove a 96-foot tugboat from the Gastineau Channel has started nearly five months after the former World War II Army vehicle plunged beneath the waters.
Marc Burd, head of marine pollution response for Coast Guard Sector Juneau, said the Challenger, which sank Sept. 12, will be removed within three months. Divers from Global Diving & Salvage worked from the dock of the Juneau Yacht Club as they started the initial phase of the removal process Tuesday, The Juneau Empire reported.
