NOAA/PMEL engineer (designer of the buoy) Noah Lawrence-Slavas, makes ready shackles for lifting the second 1,800 pound railroad wheel assembly from the loading dock into the sea where it will be attached to the salvage and float bags, tied to the UPR ship Pezmar, and eventually towed to its final resting spot where it will serve as the second of two wheel-anchors for the buoy.
