Divers get in the water, inspect damage to USS The Sullivans

We're into the second week of work to correct the listing and partial sinking of USS The Sullivans along Buffalo's waterfront.
There's been some messy weather to deal with in recent days as crews work to assess the damage and come up with a solution for the plight of the historic museum ship from World War II.
Things were definitely brighter Wednesday with the weather, and perhaps the collective mood, of the salvage operation team at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park.
It's giving the team handling this overall effort to save this nearly 80-year-old ship the chance to actually do some in person inspection work from an underwater perspective as they examine the exterior of the ship.
With no real wind on Wednesday and the water levels down a bit from the past two days, divers from Bidco Marine salvage were able to begin their close-up look at the hull of the ship to look for any holes or breaches that could be causing flooding or any other issues.
