They do paint a rather glowing picture. Supposedly there were around 200 boats to be salvaged.

200 boats just in the Lagoon, let alone Oyster Pond. Do the math about how long this is going to take, at 1 or 2 boats a day.

40 already leaves about 160 left. 1-2 a day I figure 3 months for all depending on size. They could raise more than 1-2 a day depending on size and there are more than one operation doing this.

Again, that 200 boats doesn't include Oyster Pond either.

Wow, they move quickly (wink)
It's easy to see why this operation will take months considering what it takes just to get a boat out. I have watched a crane-barge set up and it was the slowest operation ever. Setting anchors, and righting the load takes lots of time.
