BELLA BELLA, B.C. — Final preparations are underway to lift a sunken tug from the waters off British Columbia’s central coast.
The latest incident report says crews are planning to lift the Nathan E. Stewart from the ocean floor overnight Sunday, if the weather permits.
Once lifted, the 30-metre tug will be placed on a salvage barge and towed from the area.
The vessel ran aground and sank about 28 kilometres from Bella Bella, B.C., last month.
