    An aerial photograph shows a large marine salvage operation in a coastal waterway, featuring a capsized or partially submerged vessel being worked on by multiple support barges and tugboats. A prominent yellow/orange lifting arch or gantry structure is positioned over the stricken vessel. The operation is surrounded by a rectangular containment boom system, likely deployed to contain fuel or debris spills.

    Responders install gates to the Environmental Protection Barrier (EPB) around the Golden Ray wreck site. The EPB is a 1-mile custom designed barrier made of high density polyethylene pipe, 5-foot square mesh debris netting and ocean boom coupled to pilings and able to rise and fall with tidal action. The EPB is a part of a multi-layer environmental protection system. Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Coastal Resources Division photo by Tyler Jones.

    A large red crawler crane mounted on a barge is lifting a curved, net-like or tire-studded structure over open water. The operation appears to be a marine construction or artificial reef deployment activity. The scene is set on a wide waterway with a vegetated shoreline visible in the background.
    An aerial photograph shows a large marine salvage operation underway on an open waterway. A capsized or heavily listing vessel is being stabilized and refloated using large wooden/steel lifting frames (parbuckling or lifting cradles) mounted on barges. The operation is surrounded by containment booms, support vessels, and crane barges in what appears to be a coastal estuary or harbor.

    A large-diameter pipeline or dredge discharge pipe is floating on the surface of a coastal waterway, secured with orange straps or clamps at regular intervals. A tugboat is visible in the mid-ground, likely towing or positioning the floating pipe string. The scene appears to be a marine construction or beach nourishment/dredging operation conducted in calm, sunny conditions.
    The image shows a capsized or heavily listing large vessel (ship) in a waterway, with its hull exposed and tilted at a severe angle. A salvage operation appears to be underway, with large yellow cranes, work barges, and floating containment or lift equipment visible. Numbered mooring or dolphin pilings (24 and 25) are visible in the foreground along with a large submerged or semi-submerged pipeline or hose assembly.
