While work to raise and scrap the tugboat Challenger takes place in Gastineau Channel, the Coast Guard is asking boaters to keep away. Global Diving and Salvage will be using divers on the wreck, which sits on the Douglas side of the channel opposite the Juneau Yacht Club.
To stay up-to-date on the progress of the wreck’s removal, the Coast Guard suggests visiting the Sector Juneau Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SectorJuneau.
