Salvage

Running Aground occurs when there is no longer deep enough water to float a vessel. This will sometimes be done intentionally, for instance, to perform maintenance or to land cargo, but more than likely it occurs due to misinformation about water depths, operator error, or a change in the bottom structure of a waterway.

Scott tells us the story of the time he ran aground and how he got out of it. He also tells us of his time working for vessel assist, helping boaters that have run aground or gotten stranded.
