Thanks for this Biker.  Channel 7 had advertised this here (in WA) to be shown last night on the news.

I had to go to work so couldn't watch it and was going to look for it today online.

Interesting viewing!

It is right under the main headline where it says "reccomended video".  Click the blue triangle.

Piece by piece.  I see why it takes about six months to finish one.

The progress seems to be on the ship west (left) of Sovereign. Sorry, don't see a translation from Turkish.

There are a number of ships waiting to get on the beach, like the last of current Pullmantur ships (Horizon) a couple of Marella ships, and others.....

Celebrity's Horizon, NYC - Bermuda, was our very first cruise. That is the ship that got me hooked.

are those ships that are waiting(Horizon, Marella, etc.) just floating hotels now for the crew?

They are virtually empty, waiting their turn to sail to Aliaga.

Apparently this ship, formerly Crown Princess, AIDABlu, Pacific Jewel, is heading for Alang (world's biggest ship scrapping yard).

Thanks for those great- if sad - pictures. Very interessting to see how they scrap those ships. Oh my- Sovereign almost gone already.

A quick but interesting video.

Thanks to everyone who posted links to pics/videos!  I just found out about this industry and now I can't get enough of watching this stuff!  I realize it's dangerous for the exploited poor who do the work for the unscrupulous yard owners who don't seem to care about their workers or the environmental damage, but wow I watch in awe as they tear apart those tired old beasts!  I always loved watching the videos and time-lapses of assembly, now I'm scour the internet for the opposite side that I never really thought about until now!  Really cool stuff!!  

[Germancruiser]

I agree- sad but extremely interessting to watch.
