One wirephoto released by Associated Press dated April 2, 1957. Shows a ship being raised from the Suez Canal. The attached press release reports that the sunken frigate Abukir is being raised as the last obstacle to traffic on the Suez Canal. Once the ship is fully raised the U.N. will likely announce its work completed and the canal will be reopened. The wirephoto is blurry and pixilated.
