The largest salvage crane on the East Coast has arrived at the new Tappan Zee Bridge construction site to help raise the tugboat that crashed and sank in the Hudson River.

Coast Guard officials tell News 12 the special floating crane called The Chesapeake will bring up the wreckage of the 84-foot tug named "The Specialist" on Thursday. Divers have already prepared the wreckage for the crane, and say the plan is to try and raise the tugboat starting at 7 a.m.

On March 12, the tug slammed into a stationary construction barge for the new Tappan Zee Bridge, killing all three crew members.

Officials say once the wreckage has been raised, they will be able to recover the remains of crew member Harry Hernandez. State police divers have tried several times to recover the body, but there was too much damage to the boat and the divers couldn't reach him.

The remains of 63-year-old Paul Amon, of Bayville, New Jersey, and 29-year-old Timothy Conklin, of Westbury, Long Island, were pulled from the water shortly after the collision.

The crane barge, coming from Virginia, was delayed in getting to the site because it had to wait out some rough weather conditions before heading north.
