Giant crane arrives at Georgia shipwreck awaiting removal

Giant crane arrives at Georgia shipwreck awaiting removalA towering, floating crane tasked with removing an overturned cargo ship on the Georgia coast arrived Tuesday and could begin cutting the wrecked vessel into giant chunks within a few days. The crane, called the VB 10,000, was in place straddling the partially submerged shipwreck Tuesday afternoon, after several months in Florida undergoing preparations. Standing 255 feet (78 meters) tall, the crane is taller than the Sidney Lanier Bridge that typically dominates the area’s skyline.
