Those tugs look so small to be pulling such a huge ship (or what's left of it:()

You're welcome! It's been an amazing, albeit sad, six hours watching her make port for the final time.

Now, as soon as they pay the towing bills, they can begin taking her apart. :(

[USNUZULOOSE]

I am grateful they made it with no problems, at least we are not aware of. Does anyone know if this went beyond the cost of the original bid?

 

Thank you for the screen shots, I could not stay awake.

I made it through the whole thing! Even got a few loads of laundry done. :D

 

Snuz, I don't recall what this project started out at but I do know the insurance companies involved were quite upset with where the costs went.

 

In that same vain, are the insurance companies finished now that Concordia has been removed and delivered?

We've probably discussed that but I don't remember. :o

 

DM, nice screen captures.

Final resting place(for now) -or fairly close to it..

[GatorTide]

Glad to see she made it safely and thanks for the pics. Is there any video yet of the docking process? I fell asleep and missed it but would like to see a recap.

Forward mooring lines over...

CC has come full circle from the port where she was built to the port where she will be taken apart. Kind of sad in a way. :(

[BlueRiband]

She was flying flags and received a fire boat salute upon leaving Giglio...so eerie to see some of her interior lights on. Almost like she was put on life support to be given a last dignified farewell.

[dmwnc1959]

She's about moored in her final position. My final screen grabs for the day...
