A second attempt to free a ship that ran aground on Christmas Eve in the St. Lawrence River northeast of Montreal could take place Wednesday morning.

The Canadian Coast Guard says part of the ship’s cargo of corn has been unloaded onto a barge, and a second barge is in transit toward the ship, with another unloading to be completed Tuesday morning.
