Fortunately her zincs were still in reasonable condiditon, but the small section of the hull that had been sanded exposed a small hole, which when splashed allowed in 24 gallons an hour. We then proceeded to pump by hand for 36 hours as she was a "dead ship", until we got the hole RESEALED with the miracle epoxy putty stick. Once hauled again she will need a LOT of chipping, sanding, priming and painting.... and likely cutting and welding of new steel plates.
