they put a ferry in slings??!! That sounds much more interesting than what I saw. There are four car ferries that cross the James River close to my home and I can't imagine then riding in a Travellift (of course the largest one I have ever operated was 35T.

I made pretty good side money my first year out of college diving on props, replacing shaft zincs, ect...b/c if the shop was backed up the yard time would make it less expensive to hire a diver.
