Tanker afloat now in Sydney Harbour

The tanker that ran aground off the coast of Little Pond in Cape Breton is now secured at a dock in Sydney Harbour.

The Coast Guard says it took more than 100 people, several government agencies, a salvage company and resources from all over Atlantic Canada to free the Arca 1 yesterday. Two tugs hauled the tanker off the sandy bottom where it had been stuck for a week.  The Coast Guard says there was no indication of any pollution or fuel leaking from its tanks.
