Coos County Sheriff Marine Deputies coordinated with other personnel and State agencies for assistance in removing the vessel.  Thursday September 10th, Marine Deputies and Search & Rescue personnel began pumping water out of the vessel so it could be towed from the location. Once the boat was floating it was pulled off, “Clam Island,” and towed to the Charleston shipyard, removed from the water, and secured.  Derelict vessels are a continuing issue state wide and our local Coos County Sheriff's Office Marine Division does everything they can to keep our waterways safe and navigable.
