Sunk Boat Salvage process in Murrells Inlet SC (DJI Phantom 2)

The M/V "Salty 46" reportedly hit the jetties at the entrance to Murrell's Inlet when returning from the day's excursion. The vessel ran aground and was partially submerged. Morgan Marine Salvage & Recovery, LLC was contracted by the insurance company to recover the vessel. Morgan, his salvage team and divers spent many days battling current, tide and weather conditions. The last day of recovery consisted of a 20 hour work day and more favorable conditions achieving refloating the vessel and towing it to Marshview Marina. The vessel was determined to have little or no value. Therefore, vessel was hauled out at Marshview via 165 ton crane, crushed, destroyed and disposed by Morgan. Although the vessel was in much worse condition upon Morgan's arrival to start recovery, Morgan stuck to his original quote ultimately saving the insurance company more than $100,000.
