ALBANY, GA -- Yet another boat has been found sunken in the Kinchafoonee Creek. On Friday, county volunteers went out to try to recover the ship wreck.

It was weighed down by sand. They had to bring out a pump to suck the sand up, but half way through the mission, the pump broke. They say they'll be back out next week to try to bring up the boat.

It's third one found in the creek this year. Residents have called in about a fourth abandoned boat, but its under so much water, the search team will have to wait till next year to get it out when the water recedes.
