I see the Concordia is upright, nice piece of work. Anybody got the details?

I was watching the live feed most of yesterday, then it went dead. Now it's back, but it's a time-lapse video. A day's work in 1 minute. Pretty cool.

Thank you, that's what I was looking for. I guess I shouldn't complain about hauling and bottom scrubbing my boat after seeing these efforts. Glad to hear some passengers will get their belongings back.

Gee, wonder if my Boat US insurance would do the same for me?

Meh, that'll buff right out.

I'm wondering if the side that's pushed in from sitting on the bottom will complicate final steps for removal. Interesting story of the economic boom to Giglio.

Discovery Channel ran a 1 hour special on it this afternoon. It was really interesting to see everything they had to do to get it upright.
