Sunken Sardine Ship Surfacing Postponed Due to Weather

Posted: Updated:

NEAR SOQUEL POINT, CA - The rainy weather has postponed plans to remove a sunken sardine vessel off the coast of Soquel Point.

The Coast Guard originally were planning to pull the ship back to land on Tuesday but have since postponed the emerging to the end of this week or beginning of next week.

Crews need to remove a number of nets and gear from the boat, before they can undergo the re-surfacing process.

The fishing vessel capsized last month after heavy winds brought nearly 11 foot waves to the area.

Four men onboard made it back to shore safely but the ship's entire catch of sardines were spilled out into the ocean.
