As the Ruby Princess embarks on its journey after it was docked for four days at San Francisco's Pier 27 after a crash, the Marine superintendent overseeing the repairs reflects on the miracle his crew was a part of in recent days.
Good news and momentary relief. Soon, Wilson realized the crew would be repairing the ship from inside a giant walk-in fish freezer.
The repairs taking place on the other side of a 25-inch diameter man hole - a tight squeeze. Wilson had to cut the material small enough to get through the manhole then reconstruct them on the other side. The crew worked around the clock to isolate the damage creating a water tight barrier. To allay any passengers concerns about a visible hole in the ship, the team fixed a stainless steel piece of sheet metal over the hole."This is the first one for me where it was this close to the water line so I could see why the Coast Guard had denied it sailing while it was being repaired. The fact that everything was able to be coordinated so efficiently and we were able to get the right welders at the right time was incredible.
