Magone Retrieves Sunken Landing Craft


Monday, September 10 2012
Magone Marine finally pulled its landing craft off the bottom on Sunday night. The vessel Joshua sank last week while it was moored to a Magone barge in Dutch Harbor.
Magone Marine manager Kenneth Willis says the Joshua’s through-hull pipe, which pumps shower and washbasin water out into the ocean, had ruptured. That caused the sinking. Willis says a diesel spill that started when the vessel sank has been completely contained.
