I was thinking along the lines of more precise station-keeping while making the lift, etc, Reduced lateral displacement should reduce the likelihood of payload breakup...

With a combination of today's technologies (GPS, deep submersibles, ROVs, etc,) I would think our chances for success would be considerably improved.
