It is anticipated that the sub-sea magnet,--invented in Japan,--will | play no small part in these salvage operations. Certain salvage engin- eers state that not only will the exact location of a sunken vessel be indi- cated by these magnets, but that the vessel herself will actually be brought to the surface by the same means. According to this scheme, a sunken vessel would be raised by means of a number of these électric sub-sea mag- nets, each being capable of lifting as much as one hundred and fifty tons. These magnets would be operated from small salvage steamers, probab- ly one boat to each magnet. Having located a sunken vessel, these steamers would be arranged in the necessary positions over the spot where she lay. The magnets, having been electrically energized from their Tespective steamers, would 'then' be placed against the steel sides of the slip. The powerful cables attaching ;| the magnet to the steamer above '| would be slowly wound up by means bof a special low-geared winding-drum. after the sunken vessel had been lift- | ed to near the surface, divers would make the necessary temporary repairs and close up all hatches, ete.
