A Look Inside a Self-Propelled Semi-Submersible Vessel – Video

September 19th, 2008 | 6 Comments

This video provides a look inside a self-propelled semi-submersible vessel carrying 15,000 lbs. of cocaine.

The semi-submersible was apprehended near Guatemala on Wednesday by the Coast Guard Cutter Midgett. After the 4 man crew and cocaine were transferred to the Midgett, it was determined that the vessel could not be towed back to port. It was declared a hazard to navigation and sunk by the Midgett.
