Not really oops - this is a clever bit of winching from Crouch. They are dragging one of the boats out from the canal breach at Whitchurch (this boat didn’t fall in the hole and seems to be pretty much unscathed).

There is also a spider excavator on site that I’d imagine will be used in the canal to work in the breach itself in the coming days.
Some big money being thrown at this job already!

I think I`ve seen somewhere they plan on reprofiling the edge of the bank and and going to winch the other boats up and do the same as that one to re float them, guess that could be the job for the spider.

Some good pics of the canal breach today - they’ve dragged the two boats out of the hole.
This Facebook page has lots of pics of the Euromach spider as well as Crouch Recovery’s new tracked winch-crane beast!

More likely that the "Excavator" was a telehandler with the driver unsighted

Surely a great deal more than a couple of old barges! Chop em up and bury them in the new embankment I’d have thought…

apparently a female operator in the wm hire spider

didn't realize the orange crouch was tracked as well thought was just the yellow one they've just built

Orange tracked winch is the newer one.
