Dredging has not budged the stuck cargo ship in the Chesapeake Bay so now there is a new plan to make it lighter and hopefully more buoyant by removing at least some of the 4,964 containers loaded on its deck.

The Ever Forward has been stuck in the muck since March 13. It ran aground in water 24-feet deep when leaving Baltimore on its way to Norfolk, Virginia.
