  • Hurricane Wilma FEMA Contract Boat Salvage Video Footage
    • Aug 1, 2006 was the starting date of Poseidon Towing and Salvage's FEMA contract to rid the Florida Keys of storm damage and derelict vessels that had been a navigational hazard for boaters in the Upper Keys.
    • The mother-ship, Poseidon IV, and other salvage vessels, headed offshore for three months with area photos & GPS coordinates of the derelict and sunken vessels, but they also came across many vessels on their own while working on the project (some 150 total were recovered).
    • The Poseidon FEMA Contract video was filmed by Captain Rhonda du Bois, co-founder (along with Captain Maurice O'Conner of Aqua Novia) of Coastal Visions International, a maritime armed security & response team.
