How to Sink A Tugboat ... Do Not Try This at Home

  • It is harder then one might think when trying to sink a ship intentionally. Vessels are engineered to float and will fight to do so. It took over two years to prepare this tugboat for sinking and she fought to stay afloat up to the very last minute.
    In this case we purposefully scuttled two vessels to create marine habitat and a new fishing and scuba diving location accessible when visiting Jacksonville Florida. The vessels were rigorously cleaned to an environmentally sound condition and sunk at a permitted artificial reef zone offshore the coast. Both this tugboat, and the other vessel scuttled, landed upright on the sea floor 90 feet below.
    All sorts of fish and marine we make these newly sunken ships their home in a short period of time. Make sure to visit the Jacksonville Florida region to experience these offshore destinations first hand.
    Thumbnail photo of the tugboat sinking was captured by Keith Mille of the FWC and was slightly edited for RUclips display.

    It was tough to watch. Tug Engineer 38 yrs. I worked tug Celtic for two yr's. A year after I got off, it went down in a storm in Long Island Sound, off South Norwalk in 80 ft. of water and took the whole crew with it/ Cap. Charles Markey, Mate Donal Magowen, Chief Norman Parish, Deckhand Paul Chartrand, and a new man didn't know.

    The sun is sleeping quietly

    Wistful oceans calm and red
    Ardent caresses laid to rest
    For my dreams I hold my life
    For wishes I behold my night
    The truth at the end of time
    Losing faith makes a crime
    I wish for this night-time
    To last for a lifetime
    The darkness around me
    Shores of a solar sea
    Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
    Sleeping
    Weeping
    With you
    Sorrow has a human heart
    From my god it will depart
    I'd sail before a thousand moons
    Never finding where to go
    Two hundred twenty-two days of light
    Will be desired by a night
    A moment for the poet's play
    Until there's nothing left to say
    I wish for this night-time
    To last for a lifetime
    The darkness around me
    Shores of a solar sea
    Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
    Sleeping
    Weeping
    With you
    I wish for this night-time
    To last for a lifetime
    The darkness around me
    Shores of a solar sea
    Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
    Sleeping
    Weeping

      Haha no they were recovered after the sinking by divers. Otherwise we would not have been able to recover the sink cam footage shown in the video. We welded custom mounting platforms to the hull in various locations to mount the cameras. Part of the design considerations was to make it simple for divers to recover the cameras.
