They are hoping to start towing the Costa Concordia away tomorrow. It should have been today, but was postponed.

Well, some will Kirk, but the hotels and bars have made a lot of money from the salvage people. A lot of people say they are going to miss them.

Linda is right, the wreck had become some kind of a tourist attraction (sadly) and attracted visitors who would normally never go there, in fact had probably never heard of the place (like me) until the tragic events last year.

 

The salvage teams etc.also put a lot of cash into the local economy.

This is a good article about it

You are right - it is no longer on the port webcam so it has gone !!

Yes HT, I looked at the webcam about 9.30 this morning and she was already a way out to sea. If you look at the slider under the webcam, you can see she left about 8am

 

According to Marine traffic she has "restricted manoeuvrabillity" :rolleyes: and is travelleing at 2 knotts.

Thanks kalos, I have found the ship on marine traffic, but it seems to be a bit behind in time (not much cop really - marine traffic :rolleyes:)

 

I saw an article yesterday, naming all the boats that are escorting her, but can't find it now!
