I have never seen these before. Thought they were interesting

Remarkable!!!

Thanks for sharing!

I saw it on one of the cable news stations.

What engineering work!

The island has to be thrilled it is being towed away.

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.

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?

Thanks for sharing. Quite an achievement to re-float the ship and sail it away.

Thank for the link for those wonderful pictures.

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.

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.

Remarkable collection of pictures. Thank you for sharing them.

Thanks for the info ..

Thanks for posting the link.

Interesting pictures.

So sad.

Thanks for posting. Very sad pictures -- some I have never seen before.

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.

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.

The Costa Concordia arrived in Genoa as planned. Incredible engineering and salvaging feat.

Thanks for sharing, LJ

Thanks for sharing these pictures.

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.

WOW!!!! I hadn't read that....

Thanks so much for the link!

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.
