Out2gtcha Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 After the captain was arrested and jailed, I always wondered how they would right her and what it would look like after................ Although you don't get to see how it was done, its a floating dry dock they put her in. I realize the site is a bit "click-baity" but the pics are still cool, and some are kinda eerie to know how fast people had to bail. http://trend.diply.com/costa-condordia-abandoned-photos?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=shared2 CANicoll, LSP_K2, Vandy 1 VX 4 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I had always just assumed they used a process similar to righting the capsized USS Oklahoma. Out2gtcha and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalashnikov-47 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 There was a great documentary on PBS about the salvage operation. I think it was a British production, so it probably aired in other countries as well. It ended up costing around $1 Billion (USD) to re-float and remove the ship. mpk and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
