Crane to Raise Sunken Tugboat Thursday

The body of the third tugboat crew member will be recovered Thursday when the vessel is raised from the bottom of the Hudson River.

Lohud.com said a crane, capable of lifting 1,000 tons, will begin the operation at 7 a.m. at which point the body of Harry Hernandez can be removed.

The tugboat sank after hitting a construction barge near the Tappan Zee Bridge March 12.

The two other crew members whose bodies have been recovered are Paul Amon, 63, of Bayville, Nassau County, and Timothy Conklin, 29, of Westbury, NJ. Hernandez, 56, a Staten Island resident, was thought to have been inside the tug at the time of the crash
