An Unmanned Merchant Vessel-MV Wisdom being towed all the way down from Sri Lanka all the way up to ship breaking yard at Alang, Gujarat suddenly breaks free from tug MV Seabulk Plover on 11th June 2011 .It came within striking distance of the iconic Bandra Worli Sea Link but missed it fortunately !!! It then drifted with the powerful currents up north and now lies stuck in sea sand approximately 50 metres bang infront of the famous Juhu Beach! So now a tourists delight!!! :) Here IN560 is seen dropping heavy duty steel cables and coils of polypropylene tow ropes as part of the ongoing efforts to tow this behemoth away! Finally on the 3rd of July,after three earlier futile attempts , an international salvage company, Smit Salvage, tugged her away into the Arabian sea and shes now well on her way to Alang!
