Présentation du contenu
To those who man Canada's salvage ships, the arduous job of rescuing vessels in distress is just part of the day's work. When the tug "Active" ran aground on the rocky shores of Carrington Bay off Vancouver Island, it took salvage crews just eight hours to have the doughty little tug afloat again. The tug "Island Champion", together with barge carrying derrick, diving gear, hoses, gas pumps and old fashioned oakrem for sealing cracks, arrived on the scene. No job for landlubbers, salvage operations call for the marine know-how and navigational skill found only in seasoned sailors.
Experts moved in close to examine the vessel and assess the extent of damage. The coast of salvage is high, but loss of this valuable tug would have been a serious blow to her owners.
First step was to seal all doors, ports and ventilator holes. Once the hole was cleared of oil and water, the tug would right itself on the high tide.
Afloat again, the "Active" was towed to port and after a spell in drydocks she was ready to put to sea once more.
