Salvage Effort Stalls Over Bombed Carib Star at Catalina
Salvage crews labored through Tuesday night to raise the 156-foot Carib Star passenger vessel sunk at the Catalina Terminal in San Pedro after a bomb exploded aboard. A 150-ton crane barge stood by to lift the ship by cables once raised by air bags. By 1 a.m. the deck rose above water three times but could not be kept afloat. The $2.5 million ship would be towed or carried by the barge to Terminal Island for repairs.
