American Spirit Grounding - A closer look


A view from a few different angles gives you an interesting perspective on the size of the American Spirit.

American Spirit Grounding 06/17/2018



The American Spirit went aground as it made it's way to the Aerial Lift Bridge.



Heavy rains over the past few days have made currents in the canal very treacherous. The actual cause is unknown at this time.

There was no apparent damage and she did not actually hit the wall.



Hopefully, the tugs can work here free from the muck soon.
