Not all of the damage done by Hurricane Harvey can be seen with the naked eye. On land, the impacts of the storm sit in plain sight. But beneath the water's surface lies another problem - sunken vessels. Hurricane Harvey moved thousands of gallons of water ashore as it churned through the gulf before sitting on top of Rockport, putting the small city - and its big money marina - on spin cycle. The United States Coast Guard and the Texas General Land Office (GLO) have identified 677 vessels along the Texas Gulf Coast that were submerged or displaced as a result of storm. Of those, 506 boats, barges or other vessels were found in waters surrounding the Corpus Christi area. Most of those boats have not yet been recovered.
