Chesapeake 1000 (formerly Sun 800) is a heavy lift sheerleg crane ship, owned by Donjon Marine Co., capable of lifting 1,000 short tons (890 long tons; 910 t).[1][2] It is one of the largest boomable stiff-leg-derrick barges on the eastern seaboard of the United States.[a][1][2]
The barge measures 191 feet (58 m) long,[1] with a beam of 101 feet (31 m); its draft is 20 feet (6.1 m).[5]
Since late March 2024, it has been involved in salvage efforts at Baltimore, following the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.[1]

The Chesapeake 1000 is a huge floating crane working to clear sections of debris from the Baltimore bridge that collapsed after being struck by a ship. But there's an even larger crane laid up in New York that could swing into action to help rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
