Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans District's Shanon Soileau confirms a vessel's identification at Ponce, Puerto Rico's harbor on January 27, 2018. This boat was one of 19 vessels that the Coast Guard transferred to the Army's control for eventual disposal, January 26-27, 2018. Hurricanes Irma and Maria sank many vessels in Puerto Rico's waters in September 2017.
