They now have it partially refloated.  Used seven tugs to pull it off the shore.  The ship is 1/4 mile long and about 200 feet wide.  Big ship.

I have no clue why everyone was giving them such crap for using a excavator  

[mjeff87]

Kinda like a termite chewing on a redwood......but I agree.  You use what you got to get the job done.  Kudos to everyone involved (except the Captain)
