Salvage

Over the past two weeks, 110-10 has been split into three groups.  Each group was tasked with developing a salvage plan for a boat that was sank next to Classroom 7's Concrete Barge.  The salvage plan required each team to send divers down to the wreck and take measurements of the hull to approximate the boat's weight and also measure the holes to be patched.  Each team then fabricated patches for the hull and wrote out a specific plan to surface the boat using the patches, lift bags, and floodable pontoons.   On February 24th, 28th and March 1st, each team implemented their plan and successfully raised the boat. 

Here are our pictures, in no particular order:
