sail7seas Posted July 25, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I saw it on one of the cable news stations. What engineering work! The island has to be thrilled it is being towed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipcafe Posted July 25, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Even though we've seen these photos one by one over the past two years, it's amazing to see them all together at once. It also just makes you gasp in awe how this hull was righted and towed away . . . Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted July 25, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2014 As most of us, I have been following along with the process to refloat her. It has been amazing. I understand it has cost around 2 billion dollars to refloat her. I wonder how much they will get for scraping her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ2002 Posted July 25, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks for sharing. Quite an achievement to re-float the ship and sail it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Scrapnana Posted July 25, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I had not seen many of those pictures. Thanks for the link. Very sad seeing what the reef and the water did to that ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted July 25, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Thanks for sharing. FYI, for those interested. The Smithsonian Channel will air the refloat operation tomorrow, 7/26 at 3:00 PM ET. I saw it a few weeks ago, a definite must see. Cruise Ship Down, Saving the Concordia.

Island Lovers Posted July 27, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Thanks very much for posting. I had not seen many of these photos before. It is very interesting to see the interior shots, some areas that were unsubmerged appearing almost normal. What a sad demise for the Concordia, but I'm glad that after 2 1/2 years it is finally removed from the Island of Giglio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1of4 Posted July 27, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 27, 2014 My heart goes out to the families of those souls who rest aboard. This must be so hard on them to relive. God be with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainmare Posted July 27, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Thank you for sharing the pictures. We sailed her the year before, while different from HAL with a Joe Farcus design she was a beautiful ship--as are them all. So sad for the loss of life for no reason. As I have mentioned before we thought it was fun when the captain would take the ship sightseeing close to islands and toot the horn, little did we know what danger we were in.

Nan-L Posted July 28, 2014 #22 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I have rental cabins in north ga and a family my just rented today that's husband is part of the salvage company that has moved and will take apart the ship. It is now docked at a new location. she said there is still one person missing and they think they will find them where the ship was in the water or in the ship its self when they take it apart. I cant image being the family of this person. We had the same kind of thing happen on a river near here. Young girl fell in a rapid and they could not get the body out of a suck hole.
