chengkp75 Posted August 29, 2016 #7826 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I would suspect they will take the sponsons into the drydock along with the hull, at least as many as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luisrp Posted September 6, 2016 #7827 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Well, it is a done deal. The wreck is now in dry dock. Just found this site which I wonder WHY, just WHY none of us ever found it before. Lots of info, pictures, updates and videos. http://www.lecostaconcordia.com/A8-The-dismantling-of-the-Concordia.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the scrambling on "he who shall not be named"'s website is amazing. 1 Aug, "if buoyancy can be re-established, ever" to 25 Aug "buoyancy suddenly re-established" to "they pumped air into the hull to displace the water, why wasn't I told about this?" when this is a common salvage procedure. The guy is totally whacked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chengkp75 Posted September 7, 2016 #7831 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Thanks for the link. I see they removed the bow before the move to the dry dock. That part of the bow has been off for a while, I think. The fractured part is still in place, with the blister tanks holding it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harborman Posted September 7, 2016 #7833 Share Posted September 7, 2016 The bow section looks like it was still in place on aug 18th but you can see where the lines are for the cuts don't know when they actually cut the pieces out. I hope we can still get some pictures from time to time of the progress in the dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganMars Posted September 10, 2016 #7834 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Just wanted to say, "Thank you!" to everyone who has provided so much information and followed through on sharing all the reports about the salvage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis, thank you for all that you have done to keep us informed with links and pictures. I would be surprised if we get any more information on Concordia now that she is out of the public eye. Has anyone heard whether the Captain has finally started to serve his sentence? Last I heard he was still in appeals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luisrp Posted September 15, 2016 #7838 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The page is still there. The one that didn't come back was the webcam at the http://www.partridge.it web site. The site itself is up but not the camera. Not sure if the dry dock is visible from that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
