Ever Forward Cargo Ship Refloated Sunday Morning

The Ever Forward—a wayward Hong-Kong-flagged cargo ship—has been refloated after being stuck in the Chesapeake Bay for weeks. The Ever Forward ran aground 24 feet deep into the mud on March 13. It was finally rescued via a 35-day-long salvage operation, according to authorities. The U.S. Coast Guard, Maryland Department of the Environment, and other state and local responders made two unsuccessful refloat attempts on March 29 and March 30, U.S. Coast Guard officials said.
