This guy has a good on-the-scene video.

He thinks some rednecks from Pasadena with Cummings engines and some tow straps can break 'er loose (I hope he is referring to boats and not Dodge RAMs).

The ship is just outside the shipping channel --- which from his Garmin (at 2:09), does not look to be very wide.

Everybody Rev-up your SUV's and Pickup Trucks to get some of that arctic ice melting.

The rising seas will take care of the problem.

The irony is there's probably about 50 tons of calcium chloride on that ship.

They'd have been alright if they hadn't let all those ScotchBrite sponges fall overboard.

Past attempts to refloat the huge cargo ship have failed. This week, the U.S. Coast Guard said there will be another attempt made, but plans are also being made to empty the cargo ship to another.

“Unfortunately, recent refloat attempts, with push and pull tugboat operations, were unsuccessful and a new strategy has been approved,” the U.S. Coast Guard said. “Refloat attempts will resume next week following additional dredging to a depth of 43 feet and with the placement of two pull barges at the ship’s stern (barges anchored to the seafloor that carries exceptionally powerful winches that pull chains wrapped around the ship to release it from the seafloor and refloat it for towing back to port).”

During Wednesday's meeting, Hogan said he may not have a solution to the grounding, but he did offer one suggestion.

"I've had a discussion with Bill Doyle about this," he said. "I said I was gonna climb up on the side of that ship and paint an 'N' on it. 'NEver Forward.'

Maryland officials seek solutions for Evergreen ship stick in Chesapeake Bay

I'm thinking that the more it was pulled/tugged on, the more it dug in to the silt, like a vacuum effect of sorts. Sorta like trying to pull your stuck boot out of a mud pit. The only way to float the thing is to lighten it's load.

The U.S. Coast Guard is removing one container at a time in an effort to free a cargo ship that has been stuck in Chesapeake Bay for more than four weeks.

NewsNation got an up-close look at the efforts to free the cargo ship Ever Forward.

The Coast Guard said 43 containers were removed from the ship over the weekend with nearly 500 yet to go; the overall effort is expected to take weeks.

The massive cargo ship, which is operated by Taiwan-based Evergreen Marine Corp,, was headed from the Port of Baltimore to Norfolk, Virginia when it ran aground in about 18 feet of water March 13.

Salvage experts determined they wouldn’t be able to overcome the ground force of the more than 1,000-foot ship, loaded with nearly 5,000 containers, the U.S. Coast Guard, Maryland Department of the Environment and Taiwan-based Evergreen Marine Corp., the ship’s operator, said in a news release.

Unloading the ship offers the best chance to refloat it, officials said.

The Coast Guard is utilizing two large crane barges that are tall enough to remove the stacked containers. The containers are then transported to Baltimore’s Seagirt Marine Terminal, officials said.
