Skagway ferry dock re-floated

The state ferry dock in Skagway, Alaska, was brought back to the surface Tuesdaynight.

The Alaska Marine Highway System says testing and inspection of the dock must be done, so ferry service toSkagwaywill remain cancelled until next Friday.

Engineers say a linethat runs under the dock to supply water to the ferryruptured and flooded concrete flotation chambers under the structure.

"From the engineers we've learned that that's what they believe caused this situation," saidSkagway'smunicipal manager, Scott Hahn. "It does not appear to have sustained any structural damage and we believe it will be back in service next week so we are very excited about that."
