Liner Manhattan Freed From Sandbar After Salvage
The United States liner Manhattan, 24 000 tons, floated off a sandbar where she ran aground January 12 near West Palm Beach Florida. Three tugs pulled the ship toward deep water amid the incoming tide as two more churned up sand on the shore side. The vessel was about a mile offshore by midnight and headed northeast. The salvage likely ends with the ship taken to a drydock after returning lifeboats and fuel oil to the ship.
