If you're in Mumbai and haven't been to Juhu beach to see MV Wisdom, do. It won't be there for much longer.

Five days after it broke free from its tow and ran aground at the beach, efforts began today to salvage the freighter with Naval helicopters pressed into service.

Indian Navy helicopters began dropping heavy duty wires and other equipment on the deck of the merchant vessel this afternoon. 

"The Naval helicopters are helping in tying the huge and bulky tug ropes onto the vessel. Once this is complete, the ropes will be attached to a tug which will pull out M V Wisdom," Director General of Shipping S B Agnihotri told PTI.

The tug is expected to reach the spot late this evening and salvers hope to take advantage of the high tide tomorrow morning when they plan to start the pull-out of the vessel, Agnihotri said. The salvage efforts are likely to conclude by Saturday evening.
