This is an awful amount of weight to be moved. But one thing it has going is that all of the weight is on a vessel that is designed to float. We have canal locks that can lift ships this size.

So my crazy idea is to build a reverse cofferdam around the ship with Larssen steel pilings and pump water into it until the ship floats and straighten the ship and remove the pilings.
