без единого подъёмного крана - вообще без тяжёлой техники. Был случай в 1964, может, и потом применяли, не знаю. Угадаете, как?
Будет Вам развлечение сегодня вечером:))

arbinada решили проблему - понадобилось всего около часа. Вот что значит мозговой штурм:) История:
In 1964, the freighter Al-Kuwait sunk off the shores of Kuwait, drowning a cargo of several thousand sheep and trapping their carcasses beneath the surface of Kuwait's primary source of drinking water. Engineers needed to raise the ship as quickly as possible to prevent the decomposing sheep from poisoning the water supply, and no floating crane was easily available.
Kroyer was working with German chemical firm BASF, which charged him with finding a solution. Kroyer's ingenious idea was to pump the freighter full of polystyrene foam balls, comprised mostly of air, which would increase the buoyancy of the ship and force it to the surface.
The technique worked wonderfully, but when BASF applied for a patent on the method, researching authorities discovered the Donald Duck story, "The Sunken Yacht," which depicted an eerily similar method of ship-raising. In the comic story, Donald uses plastic ping-pong balls, fed through a tube into the ship's hull, to lift the titular vessel in a fashion very much like engineers pumped the polystyrene foam balls into the Al-Kuwait's hull.
