Ever Forward ship freed from Chesapeake Bay

At long last, the Ever Forward is free.

After weeks of tugging, pulling, digging and dumping, the 1,095-foot cargo ship was pried from the muddy clutches of the Chesapeake Bay Sunday morning.

Two pulling barges and five mighty tug boats shimmed the massive ship backward and sideways until she was free from the deep mud and silt that she rammed into after hopping a narrow channel more than a month ago.

Buoyed by a high tide and a lighter load, Ever Forward was officially dislodged just before 7 a.m.
