SALVAGING THE COSTA CONCORDIA *Update*






SALVAGING THE COSTA CONCORDIA


The cruise ship in better days.



It now rests on its starboard side off the small island of Giglio on Italy's west coast.  Apparently the ship's captain steered the vessel too close to shore and struck bottom.

Here's the plan to right the ship.  Incredible engineering!





A float-on system was engineered to transport the vessel to Genoa for salvage.






*UPDATE*



Done!
