Giant crane to be used for cutting Golden Ray expected by end of June
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. โ Crews are making strides in their mission to remove the Golden Ray from St. Simons Island Sound. Unified Command said it is expecting the monster-sized crane thatโll be used to cut up the overturned cargo ship to be in the Sound by the end of June. For some around St. Simons Island, the sentiment of wanting it out of the Sound is the same. Ken McLaurin has lived in St. Simons Island for the last 20 years and regularly sees the Golden Ray wreckage during his bike trips near the Sound. It will then be used to cut up the Golden Ray, section by section.
