Operations on Friday to dislodge a riverboat that has been grounded in Lake Barkley since July 7 were successful, noted a press release from American Cruise Lines, which operates the ship.
Officials said the American Jazz riverboat was successfully refloated in Lake Barkley on Friday and was immediately able to get under way on its own power. The riverboat, which was carrying 120 passengers and 54 crew members when it became stuck, is currently undergoing final inspections from the U.S. Coast Guard, and once completed, will continue on to Nashville, officials said.
Its next cruise departs from Nashville on July 25, according to the press release.
