Race To Free Giant Ship From Suez Canal Continues

Ever Given, a Panama-flagged cargo ship wedged across the Suez Canal, is seen Saturday. Tugboats and a specialized suction dredger worked to dislodge the giant container ship that is blocking a crucial waterway for global shipping.

Efforts to refloat the Ever Given made "significant progress" Friday night, but low tides quashed authorities' hopes of refloating the 1,300-foot vessel before the weekend.
