Golden Ray salvage resumes after wreckage catches fire

摘要

Salvage work has resumed near Brunswick, Ga., following a fire inside the Golden Ray wreck that burned for roughly seven hours. Workers noticed smoke emanating from the capsized vehicle carrier around noon on May 14. At the time, crews were using cutting torches and preparing to separate two sections of the ship, according to U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Michael Himes, a spokesman for the multi-agency unified command. Ignition happened despite fire suppression efforts, he said, which involve spraying seawater around areas where torch cutting takes place.
