cruiseaddict5279 Posted July 26, 2014 #7052 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Do you guys know if they actually sounded concordias horns as it pulled out from Giglio? Now that would have been a real cool way to officially start her last voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganMars Posted July 26, 2014 #7053 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Here is a gallery of 91 photos of the day Concordia left Giglio. http://www.corriere.it/foto-gallery/cronache/14_luglio_23/concordia-l-ultimo-viaggio-genova-344a64b0-1238-11e4-a6a9-5bc06a2e2d1a.shtml I don't know if they sounded the horns on Concordia, but there were horns sounding. May have been from all the other vessels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorganMars Posted July 26, 2014 #7055 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thank you, Tonka, for everything. I share your sadness. Ladies and Gentlemen' date=' I know I have not commented much in the last few weeks, but I have been following the thread and I found it amazing how wonderful all of you have worked together to bring so much information to everyone. Especially those who started without much of a maritime background. Frankly I think you all are now Maritime experts!..........Congratulations to everyone of you. I watch the Concordia now and I can feel nothing by sadness over the whole event and the 32 lives lost and the pain and suffering of everyone who was aboard her. She is a destroyed *Lady of the seas*, but yet there is still a bit of dignity about her, like she is determined to make it to her last port where her duty will be completed. Good bye Grand Lady..........you deserved better! AKK[/quote'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeBeach Posted July 26, 2014 #7058 Share Posted July 26, 2014 MM, I've been doing the same as you, looking for a port cam. What was funny was when I started I entered Port of Pra -Voltri into a search. As I scanned down the list imagine my surprise when I found a link to our thread. I did end up finding one cam but after a while it required a sign in to continue so I let it go. Came here to tell about our thread and found that you were doing the same thing I was. Glad you had some success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeBeach Posted July 26, 2014 #7060 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) MM, been doing that myself. I keep hoping for a live stream. Wondering if Republica TV might show up. They've given the story a lot of coverage during the parbuckle and float away. This would be a good follow up to the story. May have answered my own "wondering." I think this is video from them getting shots of Concordia when she was around Corsica. http://video.repubblica.it/dossier/costa-concordia-il-recupero/concordia-la-prua-diretta-a-genova/173447/172026?ref=HRBV-1 Edited July 26, 2014 by SomeBeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNUZULOOSE Posted July 26, 2014 #7061 Share Posted July 26, 2014 What time is she due in on Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganMars Posted July 26, 2014 #7062 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) What time is she due in on Sunday? Reports are saying dawn on Sunday. I think the convoy is a little ahead of schedule, but doubt that they would want to negotiate the docking in the dark. They are the professionals though, so maybe it wouldn't matter to them. Perhaps, Tonka knows if it would make a difference if they arrived earlier than dawn. Edit: Just checked vesselfinder and the convoy has slowed down to 1.3 knots. They are probably timing their arrival and just keeping steerage. My guess, anyhow. Lots of pleasure craft in the area, too.

MorganMars Posted July 26, 2014 #7064 Share Posted July 26, 2014 http://www.theparbucklingproject.com/article/103/July_25th_-_News_from_Concordia_navigation There are still about 60 nautical miles to reach Genoa Prà-Voltri and, after 2 days of navigation, the Concordia is now about 20 miles West from La Spezia. At the moment, the convoy has an average speed of about 1.7 knots which could be further slowed down in the next hours in order to allow the arrival in front of the port between Saturday night and Sunday morning, as per plan. The entrance in the port will be on Sunday morning, July 27th.Today weather and sea conditions have been good, with calm sea and light wind from the south. A worsening of weather conditions is forecasted for tonight, with local rains in Liguria until tomorrow at noon. Weather conditions will improve in the afternoon to then become stable from the evening and on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted July 26, 2014 #7067 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Given that... "Concordia ship will remain docked to the breakwater of the Port of Pra-Voltri for a few months.." it would seem likely that Concordia could initially be secured somewhere along this breakwater below somewhere out of other shipping's way, near the cross-hairs you see .

I actually posted this just a couple of days ago: Found this map on another website, not sure how accurate it is regarding where Costa Concordia will be moored. (Credit Nedo B. Gonzales, Navi e Armatori) And showing it in relation to the main port of Genoa... Voltri on the far left, Genoa main port on the right And here's another showing the transfer of materials to the main dock... :D Edited July 26, 2014 by dmwnc1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi MM, She is not easy to handle, so I am sure the salvage crew will of looking to start to bring her into the harbor/breakwater at first light. They would not want to work and maneuver her in the dark. The only exception to that is if the weather and seas were to pick up and especially the wind, then they may feel its better/safer to bring her in as soon as possible, even if it's dark.

Obviously I haven't been following this as keenly as you have :D Interesting to see the transfer of materials thing. Looks like they're going to build a temporary bridge? Is that what I'm seeing?

luisrp Posted July 26, 2014 #7074 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I noticed from several videos that the long boom of the tower crane is still on board. It is right on the upper deck in the starboard side. From the Giglio News web site a couple of time lapse videos from their webcams. The videos link to longer 10-day time lapses. http://www.giglionews.it/2014/07/24/allontanamento-concordia-time-lapse-delle-webcam/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
