MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The city of Milwaukee could see the removal of the abandoned boat on Bradford Beach Tuesday, May 6. 

"Deep Thought" has been there for nine months. The removal plan includes the closure of Lincoln Memorial Drive from Water Tower Road to Lafayette Hill Road. 

Multiple removal attempts have failed. In one instance, a barge brought in by a salvage company to assist became stuck itself, compounding the challenge. That boat was removed around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. 

One spectator 

"It's iconic," he said. "People are jumping in the water next to it, having parties...there's been folk songs written about the boat... people feel connected to it."
