Another fishing boat got hung up on the Point Panic reef on Monday,Aug 14.Unfortunately it was during the beginning of a rising 1 to 3 ft south swell.The Princess K was kept from crashing onto Kakaako Park's rock walls by the US Coast Gaurd who passed the task of pulling the 65 ft. metal hulled,fully fuelled, fishing trawler off the coral beds to a private professional salvage company.It took nearly 6 hours to gently turn, tug, and float the ship into the nearby Kewalo channel.No boat parts or fuel seepage was evident after the ships removal from Point Panic's reef.Excellent job!
Photos of the reef were taken a few days later showing where the boat had traveled during it's recovery.
