Default How

How was thssub moved to dryland intact?

There's a sub in Peril in Hoboken NJ that's afloat but the docks and place she rests at are in jeopardy and the landowners have issued an ultimatum to the museum there to move it...

Sure would be nice to know what moved that sub....

Well the Batfish was brought up from New Orleans via the Mississippi then the Arkansas, and when they got it to Muskogee (Oklahoma) they realized the Batfish was to long to go around the next curve in the river. So the WWII subvets called in an excavation service and they dug out a ditch big enough for the Batfish and floater her into it, then built up awall between the Batfish and the River. the ditch is below the river level.
