New Device Reclaims Cargo From Sunken Vessels
A novel system uses a portable electric light and derricks on a wrecking steamer to recover cargo from sunken ships. The operator, protected by a remote chamber, can work at depths around 240 feet if the seabed allows. The same apparatus aids sunken steamships up to 200 feet deep with a design suited for heavy seas. Iron foundry work also shows signs of revival despite ongoing moulding.
