About

Salvaging of the German barge Raab Karcher from Duisburg which sank after a collision with an ocean-going vessel at the entrance of the Waalhaven. A diver goes into the water to check the mooring lines, the ship is hoisted up using floating sheerlegs, the undamaged holds are emptied and the ship is put on the sand.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
