John B. Caddell removal operations

The Hurricane Sandy Pollution Response Unified Command lifts and transports the tank vessel John B. Caddell from its location on Staten Island, N.Y., using the crane barge Chesapeake 1000 to a maritime facility where it can be safely assessed, Dec. 11, 2012. The Caddell, a 184-foot tanker ship that washed ashore as a result of high winds and floodwaters from Hurricane Sandy, posed both an environmental and navigational threat to the New York waterways.
