The recovery from the deadly Baltimore bridge collapse reached a significant milestone Monday as the ill-fated container ship Dali was slowly escorted back to port, its damaged bow still covered with smashed shipping containers, fallen steel trusses and mangled concrete.The Associated PressThe cargo ship Dali moves from the Francis Scott Key Bridge to the Seagirt Marine Terminal at the Port of Baltimore on Monday.
Removing the hulking ship opened a new void in Baltimore's skyline, which lost an iconic landmark and a symbol of the city's proud maritime history. The altered waterscape shows how crews have already cleared thousands of tons of mangled steel that jutted up from the water's surface after the collapse.
To refloat the Dali, crews released anchors and pumped out more than 1 million gallons of water that had kept the ship grounded and stable. Crews conducted a controlled demolition on May 13 to break down the largest remaining span of the collapsed bridge, which was draped across the Dali's bow. Dive teams then confirmed the path was clear.The FBI has launched a criminal investigation into the circumstances leading up to the crash.
The ship's 21 crew members, most of whom are from India, haven't been allowed off the vessel since the collapse. The Dali is managed by Synergy Marine Group and owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd., both of Singapore.
