travler27 Posted October 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2014 What do you suppose happened to all the stuff folks left in their safe on the Concordia? I've never heard it discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino D Posted October 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Found an article on a "Cruise Law" site http://www.cruiselawnews.com/2013/09/articles/sinking/costa-concordia-finally-upright-whats-next/ It included the following statement about salvage "Personal Effects Will Be Gathered: There are reportedly some 1,500 cabin safes which need to be accessed. Jewelry and any salvageable personal effects need to be returned to the owners." I don't know if the person who wrote the article has first hand knowledge, or is just conjecturing. I thought it was an interesting question you raised. Edited October 5, 2014 by Domino D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was an interesting question you raised. I do believe he was guessing. He mentioned that once the ship was raised, it would sit there for six to seven months before being towed away. It was towed away as soon as it was lifted and now sits in Genoa to be scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I would have emptied it. All that time waiting for the abandon ship would have given many enough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookbug53 Posted October 5, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I do believe he was guessing. He mentioned that once the ship was raised, it would sit there for six to seven months before being towed away. It was towed away as soon as it was lifted and now sits in Genoa to be scrapped. He was writing about the ship being righted. It did indeed sit there for some months before they finished lifting it and towing it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlight Durban Cruising Posted October 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 5, 2014 There have been quite a few news articles where the cruise line is quoted as saying one of their tasks is to clear the safes and return such personal contents to the owners in due course. Searching Google should provide the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
