New Carissa almost gone -- Barge taking pieces
This clip was taken on Sept 2, 2008. On the left is what remains of the New Carissa. The jack-up barges are full of metal, salvaged from the shipwreck. The metal is being transferred to a floating barge to clear the way for the final stages of the removal of the New Carissa.

End Of The New Carissa
What is happening in the video is what is called a Horizontal Chain Cut". A huge chain is strung between two 300-ton "pullers" and wrapped around a very large section of metal, which would have been horizontal to the deck. They crank the chain back and forth using it as a saw. It worked, and the mammoth piece of iron it cut loose must be 50 feet tall.
