Crew tilt a fabricated cofferdam and lower it overboard, where it is then seen floating next to the ship. Two crewmen in rubber gear stand on the raft and use poles to stuff material into the gashed hull. Ship's crew runs to starboard to tilt the port hull up for repair crew.Then they run to the port side. Officers make final check on a diver in rubber suit, who then descends side of the ship on a rope ladder. Another diver, sans suit, descends the ladder. Divers back on deck after completing work.
