MIAMI (WSVN) - Weeks after Hurricane Irma caused many boats to slip, boaters can finally get their vessels back.

The 7News drone flew over Pelican Harbor, Thursday, as boats that came loose and washed up on a nearby island were placed on barges.

The boats will be taken to Watson Island where owners can claim them.

If they’re left abandoned, they’ll be sold for scrap.
