When it surfaced off the state’s coast it turned out to be a heavy-lifting barge that relieved the anxiety among the Florida residents.
Onlookers characterized the device, which was sighted last week off the coast of Palm Beach, as resembling the Sydney Opera House, McDonald’s golden arches, a big Erector set, or a floating amusement park attraction.
The debris of the 656-foot-long Golden Ray cargo ship, which sank off St. Simons Sound, Ga., in September 2019, was removed by the VB-10,000, a 250-foot-high heavy lifting barge that had been working for almost a year to remove the wreckage.
The barge traveled through Palm Beach on its way back to the Gulf of Mexico, where it is utilized in the offshore energy industry, according to officials.
